I need to show some content (specific nodetypes) from another umbraco installation (7+)
What would be the best approach/practice?
Publish the things wih rss on site a and grab that on site b?
Hook on to site a database with sql calls from site b?
Any other smart or new ideas? :D
I would go for RSS or just a simple custom Web API / Webservice call. SQL means you'll have to open up your infrastructure (firewall, etc) unless the sites are on the same server(s).
In any case, a custom api controller gives you more flexibility in case you'd ever need to add some logic or transform the data on it's way out.
