Hi
A content provider delivers editorial content via xml. he has this to say:
The better your website is coded, the quicker we can add the content.
All content is provided as a XML stream pushed via FTP directly on your server. With a XML reader you simply read the XML files und publish them just in time on your website. So you don't have any progessing coding or content management to do.
What does he mean by this?
Is this do-able with CMSB?
Does Interactive do this kind of work or can you reccomend someone please?
Thanx in advance

Hi PV,
It's hard to know for sure, but I'm guessing what he means is they provide the XML to you in a standard format and that there are standard "reader" programs out there that will load it and output it as html.
I'd ask him the following:
- Can you send a sample of the XML file so we can see the format?
- Can you send me a list of XML readers that would work with your XML
- Can you send me a list of programs that do the publishing?
- Can you send some examples and/or documentation on how to implement this?
And yes, we can help with all of this. We just need to get the specifics. Feel free to contact us at consulting@interactivetools.com.
Hope that helps!
