Nick,
Thanks for the reply.
How would I scale something like this though?
Imagine I had the apps:
News,
Events,
Menus,
Offers
And I have a home page that I would like to display a "widget" (5 most
relevant of each) on that home page...
In the current situation I have created the view in the Events
application. How would I create a view external to all apps that I
can add all the necessary code in to make my home template?
Regards,
Duncan
