Hi Rob,

To create and/or updates from external sources we have the XML import mechanism.
What you can do is generate XML from your custom table and then import it using our XML import function.

The easiest way to see which XML you need to generate from the tables is to create one sample article manually and then export it to XML.

best,
Julien

Thanks Julien!

We got the XML import working, but are now trying to keep the articles in sync with the content provided by the custom table. We've read about using an alternate key to create and update articles (http://documentation.form2content.com/f2c-xml-import-export/111-using-an-alternate-key-for-for-importing-f2c-articles-with-xml-import), but updating an article is only working when updating an existing article (using the ID generated by Joomla/F2C).
When trying to use a alternate key (generated from id's from the custom table fields), the initial article is not created with the generated custom id, but the Joomla/F2C id instead. We would like to use our custom id's if possible. Are we using the alternate id mechanism correctly?

Did this get resolved?
