Re: Getting search terms from Google Custom Search

Hi Neil,

Is it in XML format and accessible via URL? If so, why not use Jquery/
AJAX to read it?

Hi Neil,

I see.

Well, it seems to be a dynamic server side functionality. Either use
DeliveryServer or in your case, like you said using ASP or any code
you desire.

The trick is not to run the code within CMS, but on the web server.
So CMS' purpose is simply to publish out whatever dynamic server side
code you would like to run (read txt, parse, display) on the web
server.

Please let me know if you need additional info.

Best,

-Jian

I would recommend running using the XML File and an ASP script running inside of RedDot.
This wouldn't affect the frontend performance.
You can run the ASP script only when publishing, which would not affect the performance for your editors.

But I would use the XML file, even if it's much longer. Cause an XML is usually easier to parse and not as error-prone as a text file.
