Afternoon guys,
I'm after a little implementation advice from you. I am looking to build a scheduled task on the server which runs every 10 minutes pinging frequently changed RSS feeds, the addresses of which are stored in a DB, using, the trusty CFFEED tag. The top [n] records from the feed are then taken and placed into an email and fired off to me. *n being a variable number of feeds differing with each feed. What I want to do is, when pinging the feed, get a count of how many of those top [n] stories has changed (title and description) since we last pinged the feed, the reason for this is that I want to perform one action if all [n] stories has changed and another if only a few of them has changed. At present the only the feeds address and the record count wanted [n] are stored the DB, presumably I'll need to store other data it the DB now to track what the feed consisted of when I last pinged it but want to store the minimal amount of data possible to perform the task, due to the number of feeds involved and the frequency of their changes. I'm open to all and any ideas at the moment. I appreciate it, Rob ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:321981 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
