Over the past few years, I have asked sevaral questions in which you all have been so gracious enough to help me with. I am now down to what I hope is my last question (crossing fingers, eyes, legs, toes) and 2 weeks away from launching a 5 year project. So, here goes nothing.
We have 2 sites (site a and site b). Site a is your average site in which users can "BeFriend" other members. That is all fine and I have no issues with that. Site B, however, is a little more complicated. There is no "Friends" feature. BUTTTTT - what we would like to do is to pull in the listing of friends from site a and display them on site b. Example. I have 10 friends on site a. When I log into my account on site b, I want to see the listing of friends from site a - as well as any friends requests.
There are a few different reasons why we are looking for this functionality, and without getting into specifics, one reason is that the user would probably go to site a only a few times in their life usage of the site. Site b - however - would be accessed probably all day long as it will be handling features that the user would be using on a daily basis.
Now - I know i could simple run an sql script and use jquery to display the results in a nice little table. That is worse case scenario. What I would LOVE to do is to keep the existing Friends layout (with their avatar and such) but retrieve this data from the table in site a.
First question - is this possible. If so, how would I accomplish this, or where would I need to start in order to accomplish this. If this is not possible, then that answer would be great to have so I dont spend the next 2 weeks trying to figure it out. I am always trying to solve my own problems while I am waiting on an answer. But if the answer is "not gonna happen" then I can move onto to something else.
Thanks in advance.
