need civicrm data in external site
January 07, 2014, 11:02:31 pm
Hi,

I have two sites, one membersite with civicrm installed and one public site.
I need some contact info and event info to be feed to the public site, so I can use it with views to let visitors search the data.

I have found a tutorial with ical, but for the contact information I really don't know where to start.
Can anyone give me step by step instructions? (I am really new at civicrm)

You should probably use the CiviCRM API with the REST interface, check http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Using+the+API

vantuykom, if you want to use Drupal Views, I don't think the API will help. You could Google for "drupal views external data" and see some other ideas about to directly query the DB for the data to display in your View.

This is a bit complicated however...

if the sites are on same server is there a reason not to wire both sites in to the same civi db and do what you want via that route?

Connecting two Drupal sites to one CiviCRM DB can break the Drupal User <-> CiviCRM Contact relationships.
