numero = 10699
interpreted = N
texte = We're building a big travel/tourism site and want do the whole thing in WebCatalog but we want WC to write out files to disk so we can serve them conventionally. Like Frontier's Render Site. Our thinking is that using a WC database to store each page element will allow us to build a form that will give secretary-level, password protected control of the text of each page of the site with very minimum training--a great selling point, ultimate easy control of the content. However, we've been pretty frustrated in getting WC sites indexed in directories because the guts of a WC site stay burried in the database out of the reach of robots. So, we'd prefer to have WC render the site out every time the dabase gets edited, overwriting the old files with the newly rendered pages. This way you get the flexibility of WC and a fully indexed site.Anyone have any ideas on how to implement this or why it makes sense not to?thanks, Karl Associated Messages, from the most recent to the oldest:
