Video Vision Online module

[Rad]

All,

Is there any one out there using the Online module of Video Vision? I was very surprised by a response from an inquiry I made that suggested have a website that connects to this module. Seems to me if I have a website I would just have a connector into my database that would automatically update the website and I would not need this module. Has anyone that uses Video Vision set up a website with a connection into their database? Maybe this isn't as simple as I think so I would appreciate any experience someone would like to share.

Thanks

Nope not easy at all. Straight forward yes, but easy no.

First of all you need to know what you are doing if you are doing. Then you need to set up a connector from your database to your website. This also would mean a dedicated connection. Most IVR's don't have a dedicated connection.

What I did was set up my database (Turns) to output to a tab delimited file, then auto run my ftp program to upload the hole mess to my server. Then I wrote a program to take the latest entiries entered on Tuesday (we always enter them on Tuesday) and put those as the new release on the site. Because we try and always enter the UPC code then I simply took that code and grabbed the xml based description from Amazon's Web Services and use it to give descriptions of each movie.

Easy eh?

Rich.
