Issue Summary

Hi,

I'd love to be able to add data through "Create from Web" to existing nodes; ideally, existing content should not be overwritten, but an option to "refresh" or update data (e,g, in CCK fields) would be great.

Thanks & greetings, -asb

When createfromweb wants to create a node with the same title as already existing, the returned values will currently be set in the node preview page, so one could use that for updating content, but a new (sub-)menu tab for updating node content from web would make more sense, true!

Re: Sub-menu options:

For Wikipedia, an autoupdate feature to autorefresh content would come in handy to keep CFW-created nodes up-to-date. This could perhaps be tied in with cron and CCK revisions.
