generate asp and rss pages from one dcr?

nico

I've been reading the forums on a one to many generate solution and am totally confused. Some seem to say use iw_ostream in some way, others say to use formapi in some way, and others say to use workflow in some way.

My requirement is to output an .asp page and an .rss file to the same directory all from the same dcr. I've got the tpl done for both of them but if i go with the iw_ostream way it sounds like I would merge the rss tpl into the asp tpl, what would you do?

I would prefer it that when a biz user generates their asp page it auto generates the related rss file.

Thanks,
Nico

iwostream works from within 1 tpl. If you done 2, you have the following options, IMO:

1. Make one a 'main' tpl and use another one as a component template that will in turn use iw_ostream (my preferred option)
2. Run a workflow that will invoke both tpls in sequence.
