or: How the fu** am I going to generate / scrape links for email blasts?
Here's the site:
https://www.cpeonline.com/
Ignore the HTTPS (for now), we'll get back to that.
Here's an individual seminar description page:
https://www.cpeonlin...t-for-us-gaap-165
Note the tail end of the URL. It is not standard URI encoded (or at least the ones I tested before were not). It has an also incremental number on the tail, the highest is the "current" entry.
Here's a calendar of courses. I would typically send them to our clients, sending a month's worth of courses to the clients who live in the region. I have a very simple HTML formatted email, which goes to the topic page.
This is the live calendar:
https://www.cpeonlin...e]=08%2F21%2F2011
But I generate based on a database of 4 and 5 character topic codes, which I then map to the NON encoded title (including the tail number). I need to create a link that goes to the encoded title though.
So, rather than recode the pathauto engine, it looks like I'll do a wget and do some scraping.
Any comments?
