Robin, Hi. Its really no more complex than I outlined in my first post about flattening. We have a single script that http gets the Spectra page and saves it as flat html. This file can then be sent over network drives / samba shares etc to front-end web servers.
There is the additional headache of parsing the file for all links to .cfm pages and then getting and rendering these (or at least replacing the link with its "flat" equivalent). We try and keep the "crawling" of linked pages to a minimum as it can turn into a nightmare. I suppose its not to hard for us as the layout of our site is sort of Spectra channel homes with flat content pages that contain inbound syndicated content. We schedule our flattening scripts to run every 5 minutes and also allow editorial staff to flatten pages on demand. Hope that helps, contact me if I can be any clearer Russell -----Original Message----- From: Robin Anne Pentola [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 18 June 2002 20:33 To: Spectra-Talk Subject: Re: Keeping Spectra? I'm very interested in hearing more about the HTML generation that you discussed, Russell. My organization is interested in using our Spectra app to generate html pages so that we can send them to proxy servers and do other interesting things. We also have invested a lot of time and $$ in the Spectra learning curve and it seems a shame to move away from something just as we are getting comfortable working in it.
