I am having two sites viz. www.a.com and www.a.com/b . Now, these are two seperate wp installations, in the same /root where 'b' is kind of an extended vertical site of 'a'. I want to achieve the technique where I'd be able to show recent (or all that I publish) posts of B on A's front page. The post should look like as it the usual part of A's native posts. For ex- if I post any topic title "my post" on B, then it should appear on its front page plus, it should also appear on A's frontpage. Any help?

Method 1 (tested):
The easiest way that wont even involve any special code is to use
wordpress rss feed... i dont know if this is the solution you are
after but it looks to be the simplest one i can think of...

You can use: feed2js (to build an rss "recent posts" display)

There you can enter the rss feed of the www.a.com/b blog and build a box
that would display recent posts.

feed2js even have some built in design features. Once done you can
simply embed the code you would be given into your template.

.

Method 2 (unTested but intresting):
i havent tried this but it should word i think... since both wordpress installation are
on the same server you should be able to include wp_load.php of www.a.com/b into a php file and the create a simple recent posts loop...

assuming this is the structure in your ftp:
*www.a.com
- /wp-content/themes/some-theme/index.php

www.a.com/b/
- /wp-content/themes/some-theme/index.php* 

<?php
require_once($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/b/wp-load.php');
?>
<html>
<head>

</head>
<body>
<h3><?php _e('Recent Articles', 'your_text_domain'); ?></h3>
<ul>
<?php
    $recentPosts = new WP_Query();
    $recentPosts->query('showposts=5'); // SET AMOUNT OF POSTS TO RETRIVE

?>
<?php while ($recentPosts->have_posts()) : $recentPosts->the_post(); ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
<?php endwhile; ?>
</ul>
</body>
</html>

.
i would to know how this worked for you...
so if you try Method b please update us.

Hope this helps,
Sagive

sure thing Sagive, I would be using second method as I have also read about this solution on - corvidworks.com/articles/wordpress-content-on-other-pages , and now I believe its not that hard when I was first trying to phrase it in mind. Thanks. – vajrasar Aug 31 '12 at 13:30
