[opencms-dev] integrating cms within another site

[Mark Homan]

Thanks for your advice but what happens when we want to have the top 5
latest news story headlines on the main site page, which is hosted by
our current site. We would need some way of asking opencms to generate
us a snipped of html to include in our pages.

We don't just need this for news stories, we have advertisement section
on each screen, with each screen served from our existing site and these
advertisement sections need to be brought into our site from opencms.
With the marketing department able to go into opencms and change the
advertisements for each page. 

Mark

If you use the standard Apache mod_proxy front-end to serve OpenCms,
you can select which paths are served by OpenCms and which by regular
Apache.

So you can have
http://www.mysite.com/catalog/...  being served by some Java or PHP
shopping cart
http://www.mysite.com/news/... being served by OpenCms
http://www.mysite.com/ ... being served from a regular file system on
the Apache computer
etc...
Joe.
