Just wondering if the functionality exists or if it will at some point in the near future to allow the XML feed feeding this plugin to adjust entries based on changes to the XML—such as editing entries/removing entries/closing the status of entries?

My company has a very big and robust directory aggregating lots of data, some of this is output into a publicly accessible XML file. This would be fine if we just needed to dump it into EE to power the web site portion of directory, however this data is changed all the time. People move departments, leave, are disabled, decide to hide their photos, update their bio, cv, etc…

It XMLGrab the right tool for this? If not is their another you are aware of?

Thanks!

I’ve a plugin in development that allows updates. It does not currently support deleting or closing entries, but closing could probably be added.

Email me if you’d like more details.
