I am REALLY early in developing a new site. I am hopeful this module will enable me to do the following:

1. Import data from a remote xml into nodes.
2. An ID is defined in the xml data, so it could only import new data.
3. This could be done with every cron run. On new data, an email could be send to site administrator for authoring new data.

etc. I would have to create a separate module for this, i understand, but will something like this be possible, and does it make sence to use this module for it?

Thanks,
dago

Yep ... this is all possible with this module. You will need to write a cron hook that calls the functions in your module that stage the data and process it.

Hi there cyberswat, thanks for your reply. I ended up using feedapi with a custom feed parser. Took me some time to figure out how its done, but now it works well.
