Mike, I have done this before with several other CMS solutions. Basically extracting content from the system and static HTML then reimporting it. Its usually that hard and if the system URL's that are logical and easy to follow then its trivial to do with something like WGET. If not then you have to do it programmatically with CF.
If you have to do it with CF usually the hardest thing is converting your URLs to local path and grabbing associated resources (images, flash movies, etc). If you need help with that I have some functions that I have already written that do that. Feel free to ping me if you need a hand with that. Also to chime in on your point.. most feature rich CMS solutions do have some method of exporting and importing content but I have rarely seen that in any open source solution with like the exception of maybe Gluecode. It would a be a cool thing to see in Farcry in that more and more people who use CMS solutions want to be able to dump content to CD, to print, into a PPT or another CMS. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Britton Sent: Monday, February 23, 2004 3:03 PM To: FarCry Developers Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: Batch Loading I'll be going from a static site of 15,000 documents (research-related) to a farcry site. The static pages' data are being converted to XML using Oracle XPath, so basically I need to create HTML pages in farcry with a scheduled task. My application would batch update the farcry database according to how many new XML files are present on the filesystem. Pretty straightforward, I just wanted to know if anyone's ever done this before. Every CMS I've looked at has left this capability out and I can tell you from experience it's important for people migrating legacy sites to be able to batch load content. --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004 --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] MXDU2004 + Macromedia DevCon AsiaPac + Sydney, Australia http://www.mxdu.com/ + 24-25 February, 2004
