jacko_162 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 OK i have coded a half decent CMS system that i will resell. problem i will have is each person will have different database and probably a different host to my own. if for example i wanted to post a "news" item to all the CMS dashboards how would i go about doing this in the code logistically? only way of doing something like this i can see is hard coding a frame to a PHP file located on my servers? and anyone have any name suggestions for my CMS script, mainly aimed at local automotive and estate agents?

shlumph Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Since each CMS install will be on different servers/hosts, you should set up a centralized web service. In your CMS, you can make a call to the centralized web service to get news, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
