Kindest ..
I am very satisfied thus far with EzPublish, but I have one question:
Is there any ways of importing and exporting articles through "feeds" in EzPublish. My given scenario dictates that articles from site A->Z is sent through email to an email alias which is parsed through a perl script (predefined xml format) .. the data should then be inserted into the EzPublish system .. and be available either asap .. or put into an aproval queue.
Have anyone done this .. and can anyone share any information on this. I would be extremely happy to help out making something like this as I am part of the developer comunity around Xmultra; a document processing thingie .. but that is based on ftp ..
.. more of the same anyways.
Would really apriciate any input!

I think the SOAP module could be used to trigger something like this automatically. Furthermore, I think I've read something about ez system implementing this for 3.1.
I think it wouldn't be very hard to implement it (maybe two days of work). So if you need to have it done now, I might do it (suppose I'd have to charge a reasonable fee though)...

Neat stuff ..
I guess.. this could be pretty simple to do if you know the data structure of EzPubliush, but the problem is keeping it up to date. Why not use the same api more or less .. during import ..
.. define a xml structure that fits .. and execute php scripts to insert a given datafile into the system?
.. should be pretty simple .. and supported .. ??
