Hello brothers!
I want to discuss data synchronization between drupal sites with you. I mean more specific problem - data synchronization between fields in few drupal installations. In my case I have something strong intranet or database and I want to give someone users ability to send data into another drupal site which has same cck architecture. And I don't want to send whole node, i want to send datа from some fields. No, I don't want to send them. I want to synchronize them. For example with checkboxes near by cck fields and sync button.
I think this problem isn't infrequent, but it is unconventional at the same time.
So could you please put me on the right track?

Domain Access
Hi Daniel,
Please have a look at http://drupalmodules.com/module/domain-access and associated modules.
Another approach might be http://drupalmodules.com/module/organic-groups

Hello Frank! As far as i know
Hello Frank!
As far as i know domain access works only with multisite drupal installations. Unfortunately this database/intranet don't work with organic groups. And I can't understand how organic groups related to data synchronization.
I found several very interesting articles:
http://www.delawarewebdesigner.com/tech-stuff/sync-drupal-content-using-...
http://www.delawarewebdesigner.com/how-tos/sync-files-in-drupal-using-se...
But don't tested it yet.
Feed API or syndication?
Hi Daniel,
That's just off the top of my head, but wouldn't be a RSS feed or some other kind of syndication a viable solution?
You might also have a look at some related discussions which among others point to "Leveraging XML-RPC services with the Services module" and
"Transmitting nodes between Drupal sites" so that seems to be the way to go :-)
