Possible to connect with other database??

Hello,

I would like to use the News Show Pro to show the latest photo's which should be "fetched" from an external database.

http://spots.autoinformatief.com/index. ... 17&lang=en

This is a subdomain from the website that contains the news. I would like to have the News Show Pro module to display the small thumbnails from this list on the frontpage of my root domain.

Is it possible to tweek the code so it does not read the joomla articles but uses my own database and fetches the thumbnails from the other server?

Hi

Sure it's possible, but this is a really big tweek. Unfortunately as it's considered as customization I cannot help You with that. Sorry. We do not support customizations.

Ok thank you for the answer Teitbite.

Is it possible to get support about this question with another License or not?

Hi

This is more than a joomla tweek and wit Developer Membership we offer customization to our products. You will need to search for someone outside our team. Sorry.

Well it was worth a try right.

I will see if I got to much time on my hand I shall give it a try in customizing. Otherwise i'll have to find another way of showing these on my frontpage.

Thanks anyway ;-)

I'll keep it in mind Teitbite

At the moment I'm thinking of making a php script that I can include using a custom html module. If this will work it should be a lot less work.

Hi

Custom html is not supporting php. Please use mod_blank instead.
