We store their content of a page in our database and when it comes time to publish the page, we then take that content and create a static html files. When they add pictures and files, we place them in a directory initially on our server and when they publish the CMS page, we re-write the locations of these files in the saved html page so they match the directory structure of their webserver. Now cfftp opens a connection and sends all the goodies over to their website. These files are then ready to be included in their template file, normally as an include. asp: <!--#Include Virtual="/location/fileid101.html"--> cfml: <CFINCLUDE Template="/location/fileid101.html"> Nothing database driven in that setup, huh? How do you get the content > to send to the sites? Database drives the admin area. Who has access to what pages, what galleries, and what applications overall so we can turn on or off functionality depending on the domain and the user. When the user commits their changes we are publishing this database content as static which means the client needs very little to run these pages on their web server.

We create an xml style sheet on their server and feed the events list from our server. Their are still projects we need to exclude from this type of setup but for the most part it works for 3/4's of the projects. Everything else would be 100% custom.

I'm just joking around with ya on this one. I think you're the only one outside of Government Agency's using something lower than 6.0 :-) Casey ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:258255 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
