Hi there,
I'm about 2 months in, working on a Ez Publishing project and need some help.
I have a form where the information need to be collected(easy part, new class with Information collector attributes), but the information also need be sent to salesforce.com via web services.
Right now, I'm thinking of letting Ez Publish do its thing with information collector, and I will put in a custom template operator on the confirmation page that will handle the web service portion.
Just wondering if there's a better way to handle this task.
Thanks in advance,

Perhaps you could set a cronjob that runs periodically and processes al newly created information collections and sends them to salesforce.com

For the part "making webservices calls", the ggwebservices extension might help you. It allows to quickly connect to external soap servers, either from php code or from within templates.

PS. it sure would be nice to have pre_ and post_information_collection events so that workflows could be hooked up to it. Would you mind opening a feature request in issues.ez.no?
