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.

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. --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to farcry-dev as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ -- _______________________________________________________________________________ Notice from Melbourne Business School Ltd The information contained in this e-mail is confidential, and is intended for the named person's use only.
