I am looking at ways to import an XML feed into Magnolia. The XML feed consists of articles from 2010, approximately 50 articles per year. There are actually two feeds, one XML feed and one XML detail. The XML feed is the full list of abstract articles, the XML detail contains only one article but carries all the information about the article not just the abstract. I need to import all the XML detail into Magnolia as article data types.
I have tried the Importer module and it seems to solve most of my problems, but I am concerned with some issues regarding persistency and maintainability. I have to found a solution that can operate over, say a 10 year period. So the amount of articles might grow to around 500-700. I am thinking about storing the articles in Magnolia's data repository sorted in folders by year. Another issue is that the client wishes to be able to change the articles once they have been imported to Magnolia. So, the next time the importer fetches the XML I do not want a changed article to be overwritten. How do I avoid that? Also each time the importer fetches the XML, I only want new articles (that does not exist in Magnolia) to be imported. I do not want any duplicates and I do not want old articles to be deleted. Can you somehow control this with the importer? cheers Emil -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=5a17638d-f098-475f-b8a4-28650147f334 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
