It's Possible To Have Multiple Pw Instances That "talk" To Each Other?

[clsource]

Hello, 

I have the following question.

I want to separate a big system into smaller sub systems, each with a separate pw setup.

The question is: how can I access the wire('pages') of another pw installation?.

example:

a big system that handles users and mail sending.

the users system "A" is a pw setup in directory users/

the mail sending system "B" is another pw setup in directory mails/

both systems are in the same machine and directory.

inside the "A" system I want to know how many emails an user have sent.

so the "A" system request this information to the "B" system.

It is possible to just import index.php from system "B" and access its wire('pages') variable?

or the only way is using something like a REST API?.

Thanks in advance.

If I understand it correctly, this is not yet possible in a native way, but part of Ryan's plan for the future, see: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/6514-implement-yet-another-way-to-access-pws-globals/?p=63773

wow,  so I guess I have to wait until PW 3!

well, I think that I should create a REST API then if I want that kind of functionality.

Thanks!

You may try this module: http://modules.processwire.com/modules/service-pages/

and if you build it into your app with an abstraction layer, you may be able to change it with the new functionalities from PW 3 once it is available.
