Help with cross information between different websites

Rails
1

Hi everyone, I’m developing an application that involves 3 websites: one
for
the clients, one for other companies (kinda like other type of client),
and
one the admin.

I’d like to know how to get information from each an manipulate, for
example: I want to get the number of clicks on a link in the menu of the
clients website, and wanna display this information at the companies
website.

Thank you,
Rodrigo

It depends on the architecture of your project. You could have one
database
for the clients app and one for the companies app, and in the companies
app
project you could connect to both databases(companies and clients) and
just
query the clients database for information. That’s one solution, as I
mentioned, It all depends on the architecture

Hi Rogrigo

What Sergio is trying to say here is something like this:

  1. You can have 3 different Rails apps for this, with 3 different
    databases.
    And then for the admin app, you can connect to the client app and
    company
    app database and pull information from there. For this, you will have to
    specify two other databases in your database.yml file, one with
    connection
    details of client app database and another with connection details for
    company app database.
    Then either you can direct do sql queries on those databases or define
    corresponding models for the related tables in your admin app, and ask
    them
    to connect to right database. Using something like this in the model -
    "establish_connection ‘company_database’ "

  2. Have 3 different Rails apps but use the same database for all three.
    Then
    you directly have access to all the company and client data in your
    admin
    app as well.
