Shawn, Don't want to do the shameless plug thing on the list, so...
I have something that does this at http://foohbar.org/contentmonger/pro At the moment the uploaded content is shown with an icon in a sidebar link (click on a Word/Excel/PDF/txt file and, if the browser has the right soft ware, the file will display in the browser). I suppose it wouldn't be so t ough to do a direct-display thing. Interesting idea for an upgrade.

If Content Management means what I think it does (web managed system for adding content to a web site), it could be useful. But does this mean the added content is HTML files? database fields presented in HTML? PDF files? Word files?, etc. I guess what I'm looking for is a system where a user can upload a file of any given format, and have the system automagically tie it into the public side of the site. Is this the purpose of Content Management? Thus far, to allow this type of features, I've been making the user enter the data into a web based form, which populates a database, and then presenting the data as required. Is there an easier way?? Thanks for any info... and I appologize for my ramblings... ______________________________________________________________________ Get Your Own Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusionb FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
