What I am trying to do: modify the "external links" hack so that it will work across domains.
What I have so far: I have the script running on the host where my boards are. I have a test script on another domain where my portal is. The test script successfully calls the link-creation script on the forum host, and displays the proper link.
What I NEED it to do: I need to get this link in to a variable so that I can append it to the story in the database.
What I have tried: I cannot create a function on the forum host and call it from the other domain. The remote file includes properly, but does not see the function.
I can't put the link-creation script on my portal site and then point it to the proper host for the mysql server on the forum host. I don't know the IP of the mysql server (I just use localhost for my forums).
So, the question is, how on earth to I call a function on one host from another host and get the results?
