syncing local txp with web version

Hello, i am working on a TXP website for a festival booking agent.

Since the client is travelling oftenly there seems to be a necessity for her to maintain her TXP database while being offline using a local TXP copy on her laptop.

Is there an easy, automatic way to sync her local TXP copy with the website, as soon as she goes online?

thanx much for any hints!

Another way is writing articles inside text-document and then with PHP cut, parse and import to the database. Also cron job could help with it, so said parsing the text document if you do it that way. I transfer music playlist and info about tracks etc. to the site and there to the database by this method.

Cheers!

My favorite blogging app for the PC is Windows Live Writer, but it requires Windows XP SP2 or Vista. I would suggest trying w.bloggar, it’s great and I used it before switching to Windows Live Writer.

sorry i don’t use any. i’m actually in the midst of trying to ‘repair’ the outdated xml-rpc support in TXP (so far, with 0 response from the devs) and i’m testing things with w.bloggar which seems to be pretty robust (for macs i hear marsedit is tops).
