Direct link to project outline view content?

[psuJTL]

I'm building a web site to consolidate project data from our various internal data repositories. For example, I would like to include a list of the project documents (and links) that are stored in Livelink in my web site, but I want to keep my web site header, footer, menus, etc.

I could create a "frame" and put the whole Livelink page within my page, but that would just look bad and would be unnecessary since I don't need the Livelink headers/footers/menus/etc, I just need the document links.

Is there a way to link directly to the "content" of the project outline view so that I could just include an up to date document list in my external web site without the Livelink header/footer/menus/checkboxes/etc?

Thanks for any information, JTL

There are a few methods that could be used :

1. Web Services to get the content from the system
2. LAPI to get the content from the system
3. XML Skin approach

bear in mind that you will need to sort out the permissions for the user accessing the content in Livelink too.

In addition to Greg's these I can suggest two more

1)use of livelink appearances and permission on it so that certain people see the menu items and certain people do not.Appaerances have to be put in every project object(I did not verify this whether appearances work for projects) but I recently completed a sap netwaever iview->livelink project where I used regular appearances and one or two oscript tweaks(to remove the zip & download ribbon that kind)
2)another knowledgeable person suggested what I did in oscript may have been possible using the jquery library,I chose my way because the jquery is actually running on the users's browser whereas my stuff was at the server level. Nevertheless using jquery you can remove named parts of the page.Since time was a criterion and I did not know jquery that well I chose my way.

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
