Hi,
I am looking to have a system built that will automatically generate pages of content on specific people (celebrities for the purpose of this project).
I want to be able to take a spreadsheet that has 2 colums, the first with the persons name, the second with a link to their picture. The system will then generate a page for this person, it will first go the the picture link and save the photo to the server as that will be the persons main image, it will then take their name and pull in the following:
1) Feed from Twitter displaying the most recent tweets with that persons name in it
2) Feed from Flickr displaying photos of that person
3) Feed from YouTube displaying videos of that person
4) Display the first bit of that persons wikipedia article
5) Feed of blog posts about that person from Google Blog Search
6) Feed of news stories about that person from Google News
There may be one or two other things we will pull in but they will be along the same lines as the ones above where we are just pulling in and displaying the content from these public feeds.
Once the system has gone through a created the individual pages for each person on the list, it will need to create a sitemap file that can be submitted to search engines. Once all of this is done it will create a zip file with all of the files inside and save it to the server.
When building this project keep in mind that while it is being used to create a celebrity database during this project, you will be modifying it to create different types of databases in future projects.
The design for the pages will be provided to you when the project starts, there is no need to worry about creating a main page or for the individual pages to be connected in anyway, basically assume that each page is its own mini-site about that specific celebrity.
If you have any questions please post them in the PMB and I will get back to you when I can.
