RedDot offers very little functionality for sharing content and links across project. So if I simply need to add to navigation a link from another project, I cannot do it in RedDot. If I need to pull a content from one project to another, with links and navigation working properly - I cannot do it in RedDot. We have over than 120,000 pages website. But since this is a single website with intensive cross links between sections, we weren’t able to split it into multiple projects Please correct me if I am wrong. I will be very glad to hear that I am wrong about RedDot cross project content sharing functionality. Thank you!! Irina This is sounds great in theory, but has some limitations as well.

If you now these requirements from the beginning it's the same with every system. You can but of course have to build a solution for every case on your own. You can build a navigation in a way, that you can link to external projects/pages. Even content sharing over multiple projects is possible, my first agency developed an extension for the system to realize such requirements.

This sounds very interesting and promising!! Is there any possibility we can view/download/ purchase this extension? Technically all we need to do, is to link pages from project A into the navigation menu (list placeholder) of project B. RedDot support told us that this is not possible... than we coded "Bridge Page" template to link pages from a different project. However, those bridge pages still don’t fully meet the project requirements. What if page from project A was renamed, or deleted... How the navigation in project B will be updated? Once again, response from RedDot support was that this is not possible, and the only way to solve it, is to put everything in one project. Which I really don't want to do!

The reason it had to be developed this way was: 1) We're using CMS 6.5 2) We needed to share content across different mini-sites 3) Before 7.5 there was no way for RedDot to do this except to have one very large project Yes it's a bit of a nightmare to administer but mainly due to slowness/performance issues - esp for end users. We're upgrading to 7.5 now and hope to see our performance issues resolve. Thanks, Kelly Actually this post is about my website. The reason it had to be developed this way was:

Belive me, they won't. I would recommend to wait for Release 10 which is announced for May ... the PageBuilder is rewritten in .NET and is supposed to run 3-5 times faster than in 7.5. “We’re upgrading to 7.5 now and hope to see our performance issues resolve.”
