Pulling Data from a Standard Website into a Mobile Site

Elyse78 · 5th Jun 2012, 02:26 PM

Hello,

I have a quick question. Is it possible for a mobile site to pull in information from the related desktop site (real time)? I am only looking to pull information in from 1 or 2 pages of the standard site.

I know that "mobiles sites" created in DudaMobile feature a live update, when the standard site is updated it feeds to the mobile site, but I am not sure how this works if you are not using a similar platform.

Thanks in advance for your help!

The short answer is yes, it is possible. Some of our members do this with our sites. It's done using php usually.

WillR... how do you do this? Is it covered in your course?

It's possible, and it really depends on what content you're looking to pull in order to determine the best approach. For example, you can import blogs and other feeds quite easily using an RSS feed import.

No, it's not covered in my course. It's done using php but I don't have the time to post any tutorials at this stage I'm afraid. Any decent php programmer should be able to set that up for you.

This is a good site to visit if you want to get the programming done for you:

V Worker

Post the job and people will bid for it. Don't overpay. Don't be afraid about using help from the east e.g. India or Sri Lanka.
