I have a website with a newsboard, and on another domain I have a related forum. I want to automatically create a topic on the forum for every article in the newsboard, and I want the comments on the articles to be synchronized to its related topic. Reading on the internet I found out that IP.Content does what I need, but I don't want it to be integrated with the forum through his tab, but to be in the frame of the site which contains the newsboard already. Trying to do this with the Invision Power demo was a failure because the frame shows the index complete with the header and the navigation menu, but I obviously don't want them to be shown. I just want the articles list (eventually with my own skin but that's another story...). How can I do that?

Use external blocks.... feeds or straight custom php... feeds are easier, PHP is more robust in capability and requies knowing the code/API to get what you need done achieved.
For mirroring to an external domain to 'post' is a bit trickier(actually far trickier), but provided it is mysql and you have db access, is doable.... but is not native to content in any manner, it auto-posts to the forum it is installed on normally when told to auto-post topics.
