EE2.X

Hello

Iâ??m scoping out the feasibility for a potential EE2 project and I just want to run this by the community to see if itâ??s possible. Apologies if this is in the wrong forum area.

On my clients existing website they use an automated third party service that publishes specific content onto their website by means of a remote http post.

The content is entered by means of a web form that the third party will point an automated a post at. They will post the equivalent of 10 channel entries in one http post which will then appear on the website.

Iâ??m wanting to rebuild their web presence using EE2 and Iâ??m thinking that safecracker may allow me to duplicate the process Iâ??ve described above.

So my question is this, can safecracker handle an automated remote http post (to a html form) that can populate more than 1 channel entry at a time?

Obviously Iâ??d designate a status and user group for said posting, but presently Iâ??m simply interested if safecracker can handle an automated bulk posting?

Best
Peter.

SafeCracker won’t split one submission into multiple entries. SafeCracker basically expands on the default behavior of EE’s SAEF… which also doesn’t do multiple entry submission.

I’d suggest a server side script that splits the request, and sends each request singly.
