Hi,

What can be quickest and easiest way to display folder content from CS16 to an other web application e.g. build in .net.

Thanks,

Baber.

WebService, REST API, XMLExport + XLST, IFrame, Custom Request Handler... etc

can you define your requirements and limitations ? will the user calling the .Net page have a CS account ?

Thanks. Yes .net with account can work for us.

So objective is just to display folder contents in the other application.

Recently we did with iframe and that is working.

How can we include these CS folders in the main search of the other application?

Please look for search API or search XML API documentation, simply put if you tack ?func=search to a Livelink URL it invoked the search API. Unfortunately, this would also mean your

other application search has ways for a federated approach:)

Heres a way showing a standalone page invoking search in Livelink.it's probably now possible to invoke that using REST as well.

Thanks. I'll have a look.

So other application is main application and we are displaying using iframe some folder in that application. That appplication has it's own search bar so we want when users search in that application it include search results from CS folders also.

You keep saying application and the main application. If everything is OT content server in your organization it becomes easier as OT has lots of inbuilt tools to search across other

livelink servers. Most search integrators know how to work with other company's search code also.

Everything is not in OT CS.

Main application is Wordpress.

CS folder displaying via iframe is in Wordpress is just a small portion. So when someone is doing search in Wordpress then I want search result in Wordpress to include results from CS.

Do you only want content from Content Server to be shown in the Search Results ? if so then the XML Search API or the Search WebService should do what you need.

Otherwise, you are looking at a federated search scenario which is much more complex as each tool has their own ranking and search engine etc. OT used to have an offering called Unite that did this.
