This might be a silly request however, has anyone build a mass import
cfm script where you can point to a db table which has the navigation
structure and body of each page and performs an import into farcry?,
kind of a mass content import! Similar to the admin feature quick site
builder that is apart of farcry already.

So if you had a table like this:

Id      body                    category
1       <html..         \home
2       <html..         \home\category1
3       <html..         \home\category2
4       <html..                 \home\category3
6       <html..         \home\category4

Then it would create the navigational structure based on the category
column, and would create a html page importing the content of the body.

I was planning on writing something like this, however I thought that
someone might have already beat me to it.

Hi Jeff,
I was looking at this email you posted to the list and I am looking at
the
same thing. Would you be kind enough to send me the files and
instructions
off-list as well?

Last year I was discussing this same topic with the Marketing department
of
one of my clients.  They wanted to be able to print short marketable
links
for print and TV ads).  After looking at how Macromedia.com does their's
I
came up with the solution to use "domain/go/alias".

With the help of Chris Kent we worked out the code to get it working in
Farcry (without making core code changes).  Then with a slight
modification
to FriendlyURLs (thanks to Spike) the code was complete.

The modification could easily be implimented into Farcry core.  I sent
email
requests and code samples to Geoff Bowers back in Feb 2005, but it never
turned anything up (he said he was interested, but that it'd have to
wait
for build 240.  I'm guessing thats not gonna happen :).  Right now
they're a
little overwhelmed with all of the Glamour changes where new features
like
this likely need to be put on hold for a while).

An example can be seen here (http://www.midhosp.org/go/midHome).  I have
it
setup so that anytime the buildlink tag sees that the destination
navigation
node has an alias, it uses this new method (otherwise it uses
domain/go/uuid).  Of couse anything after that is considered variables
and
variable answers (go/uuid/var1/ans1/var2/ans2) keeping the SES happy.

If you'd like the code I'd be happy to share it (email me off list). 
Also, you'll need the new version of FriendlyURLs.  I've asked Spike to
update his site with the newer version (which is backwards compatable). 
   Hopefully he'll get that all set soon.

-Jeff C.

P.S.  Months later the marketing department is ecstatic.  They can
simply
take any page and give it an alias.  Within seconds they have a simple
link
that is ready for marketable material.
