on my sharepoint site, I want to display data that lives in a listin a different site collection. The first thing that comes to mind, isto view it using the RSS Viewer, as a feed.What are some other ways to do this? Looking for a brainstorm here.
this link is a cool work arround, may be you want to try it out:pathtosharepoint.wordpress.com/.../a-simple-method-to-display-a-li\st-in-another-site/
That approach will normally work when going to another site in the same sitecollection, but not a site in a different site collection. When you go betweensite collections you are crossing a security boundary. That normally presentsthis from working.
Another option is the FlexListViewer web part. Seeblogs.infosupport.com/.../default.aspx.It works across different site collections in the same web application.I am not sure about different web applications in the same farm, butdefinitely does not work across farms.It has some issues, for example it doesn't support grouped views andsome column types.
