Possible to show posts on another site?

[OpenBayou]

Hey again,

Is it possible to display ProcessWire posts on another site? I'm looking for a CMS to use as an affiliate network and to serve banners. I have an idea of how to do this by using RSS feeds but want to know if other ways exist.

Thanks again,

You can serve any content from a PW install by creating placeholders on the target page, then use javascript to populate those placeholders.
Here's one way, though there are probably many - i did this once and it worked pretty well: The JS would load it's html from the remote server.

In the template that will display the content, you would put something like this at the top:

$request_headers        = apache_request_headers();
$http_origin            = $request_headers['Origin'];
$allowed_http_origins   = array(
        "www.example.com"
);

if (in_array($http_origin, $allowed_http_origins)){
    header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: " . $http_origin);
}

if(!$input->pid) exit("no page id specified");
if($input->pid) {

	// Sanitize the request
	$pageRequest = $sanitizer->int($input->pid);

	// Look for the page
	$banner = $pages->get($pageRequest);
	if(!$banner->id) exit("banner not found");

	// echo your banner here

	exit();
}

on the target site custom.js:

var baseUrl = "http://www.example.com/services/banners/";
// the location of your custom js file:
var script 		= $("script[src*='scripts/custom.js']");
var pageID 		= $(script).data('page-id');

if( typeof pageID != 'undefined' ) {
	$( "div#p"+pageID ).html('<p>Loading...</p>');
	$.get( baseUrl + "?pid=" + pageID, function( data ) {
		$( "div#p"+pageID ).html( data );
	});
}

and on the page that will display the banner:

<script data-page-id="1020" src="scripts/custom.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div id="p1034"></div>

Thanks!

However, my thinking is to do the RSS because of people using Ad Block addons that disable JS. I use WordPress and they have the ability to create an RSS feed from a template file in your theme. Does ProcessWire that the ability to create a custom RSS feed using a template?

The technique i described above would not be blocked unless the adblockers decided specifically to block your server. Otherwise this would operate just like any other content on the page that is generated or manipulated by JS.
