Looks like XML-RPC is only accepting POST requests. In the parent site browser if I go to xmlrpc I get this: XML-RPC server accepts POST requests only. And then if I try getting the nodes on the child site via the Devel module I get this: stdClass Object ( [is_error] => 1 [code] => 1 [message] => Access denied ) How can I configure the one site to accept GET requests?

How can I configure the one site to accept GET requests?

Is that what you mean byt the foreach has nothing to loop over?

I don't see anything immediately wrong in the module, though since the post has been written, some of the code has changed. Looks like the foreach has nothing to loop over.

I've enabled this code via 2 modules on 2 sites. I have the parent site using the first section of code you supplied as a custom module in /sites/all/modules/services/services/homes_service. I then implemented the homes_sync module in /sites/all/modules on my other site. Everything enables. When I run cron on the child site however I'm getting the following error and the Homes content is not populating over from my Parent site. Any idea what could be causing this? Status report warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/msde2/sites/all/modules/homes_sync/homes_sync.module on line 41. I look forward to hearing back from you soon.

Not necessarily. You just need a service to call and functions to handle the response. As long as you have that, you can have multiple service functions handling various types of content. My functions were just specific to handle this one use-case with a content type. If you have multiple content types where the only real difference is the name (and no CCK), you could write a more abstract data retriever and get the same functionality. 2. There are a few ways you can do this depending on the approach. You can use some of the file.get() services included in the core Services module, or write your own. If it is attached to the node, node.get() should be able to tell you there are files attached. In the case that they are linked within the content, you might have to parse the body text for img tags, and do file_get_contents() if you find anything matching the file system path. I knew that wouldn't be the case with what I was working on, so I did not have to go that far. The great thing about the Services module is its flexibility to do just about anything data-wise. 1.

Two questions: 1) Looks like you have to create 2 modules for every content type. 2) How would you handle embedded images, links to files on the server, and attached files? Excellent post. Two questions:

1) Looks like you have to create 2 modules for every content type.
2) How would you handle embedded images, links to files on the server, and attached files?
