Hello,

I have two websites that i would like to link together. The first is my main church website Fbcwarren.com
and the second is admin.fbcwarren.com, fbcwarren.com runs Joomla and admin.fbcwarren runs drupal.
I am running CiviCRM 1.7.9682 on drupal 5.1 (admin.fbcwarren.com) and would like to include in to joomla (fbcwarren.com) a donation page.

My first idea was just to use the wrapper function of joomla to include the donation page of civicrm into the website so that anyone that would give to the Main church site can be traked on the admin site.

But I can not figure out how to remove everything but the Donation info from the page. I don't want it to show the druapl theme inside of joomla nor have any of the links show up on the pages that i am wrapping into joomla.

Does anyone have any idea to one remove eveything from that page and show just the form or 2 make this work.

Thank you to anyone that can help me on this,
Dillon

PS I have replaced my church management system with Drupal / Civicrm to run everyhting from the membership roles to soon the donations.

a couple of ideas which i did not think of when chatting over IRC

1. any specific reason why u dont run the backend also in joomla? What's missing from the joomla/civicrm distro that u need?

2. u could run a limited version of joomla on the frontend and just have the contribution pages there, which gets rid of the whole wrapper business (and allows u to keep the front/back end architecture)

3. can u write a case study of what u r doing and how its working etc out here:

http://forum.civicrm.org/index.php/board,4.0.html

4. a review on joomla extensions would be very much apprecited

1. I am using Drupal as a managment platform for the church, Each of the 4 boards get there own section to add and post there information, and I have found that running civicrm in drupal it was the easiest way for the staff to find the information that they needed, I have used civicrm in joomla. but i wanted to keep everything in one place for the staff, and have the split from the main church site.

2. if i run a limited version under joomla would i be able to sync to two database the civi drupal with the civi joomla.

3. I will write the case study when i figure out how I got all of this to run in the first palce and when i have the system running at full speed.

Both joomla and drupal could potentially share the same civicrm database. all the information is then extracted from / stored to the same database. This should work for everything, except for the config and user match information (which is also stored in the database). Not sure how to get around this (disadvantages of storing settings in a db!). I'll think about this over the next few hours
