Importing data as object from another database

Wednesday 19 November 2003 6:32:17 am

Hello there,

I'm looking for an answer (way to start) to this problem:
I have a database with information that comes from another application I made. This application stores these information in another DB (so not the same DB as eZ is using).

Now I want to store some of these data into eZ as object. I looked around and found this in the forum:

http://www.ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/forum/developer/creating_a_simple_content_object_via_php

That's exactly what I'm looking for, need a little bit of tweaking, but ok. Still I dont know how and where to put this little script (if I may call it so) .

Should I put it like in the cronjobs directory where it will be running using cron or somewhere else?. I would appreciate it if someone can shed some light on this.

TIA,
Shurbann

Thank you Claus, I think you gave me enough ideas/tips to start this project.

Once in the while there would be a new entry in this DB. So it's not a "one-time-job". There are not alot of entries, so I wont be having the problem of timing-out I hope.

Next challenge is how to keep track of what have already been imported. (But I wont bother you guys with that :) )
