JustMee JustMee	Wednesday 16 March 2011 6:32:22 am Hi, I'm looking for a CMS to create an online shop with more than 3000 products. All thoses articles got an ID and each article got an image as "ID.jpg". Before choosing EZPublish I would like to know if there is a way to get automatic update of articles database. For example, at the beginning some articles won't have images ready and the field "image" will be empty. If after few days my client create thoses images and upload them in the images folder, is there a way to make the article database updated by itself or does my client got to update by himself all articles sheet ? Thanks
Nicolas Pastorino	Wednesday 16 March 2011 6:43:04 am Hi, and welcome to the eZ Community, The case you are describing seems easily solvable. Setting-up a cronjob, running as frequently as required and checking in a particular directory (filesystem or content tree) for new image files (they will have to be named sharply, letting the system identify the associated article), and populating existing articles with their respective images would be one way to achieve this. The other way is, as you guessed, letting editors edit the already existing articles manually (like any content edition) and add the new images. I hope this helped you, Let us know if you have other questions, Cheers, -- Nicolas Pastorino Director Community - eZ Member of the Community Project Board eZ Publish Community on twitter: http://twitter.com/ezcommunity t : http://twitter.com/jeanvoye G+ : http://plus.tl/jeanvoye
