Displaying data from another web app

Hi

I'm hoping to display data from my "team" app onto my "articles" app. Basically display the author's image, email etc.... which comes from the TEAM app. I know it can be done.  I've use the data src field extracting the authors name, but of course this provides only a link. Are there any tutorials anyone can point me to? Thanks.

So what this means as a practical answer using the normal tag system with BC,  is that you insert this code for your team web app {module_webapps,123456,i,{tag_author_id}} onto your displayed atricles app layout page.  tag author id  is a field set up in the articles web app and is a datasource field connect to your team app.

If you use liquid markup you get the id of the web app item. You can use this to call the other web app module using that item id to access that item's data.

If you can you would use liquid and the newer tag system for modules:
module_webapps | Business Catalyst Developers

Web App detail layout | Business Catalyst Developers
