Roger,

We have clients that want to have some information available on their web pages for drivers (its trucking) and possibly customers.
Do you have recommendations for transferring data, or printing a document (pdf). the pdf is for driver pay (actually owner operators) for a prior pay period, which is an option on our menu. The customer would create the login for identification and then display pay weeks available, which we would give them (somehow). We would then create the pdf.

Not to oversimplify, just looking for tools, or we can do it from scratch.

Are your customers running their own server for their web page?

This can be done via CXP and a web server on the same local network as their data.

What do you know about HTML?

We do our own web page. Base pages are html (about 15-20 pages) . Our user pages are a mix of html and php..php used for client server access,etc.with login required

What are you using as a web server?

Do all of your clients have a web server?

As far as we know all use cloud servers via their internet provider, which is what we do.

Our support web page is not linked to any data on our local network.

You cannot do this on cloud servers. You need a web server on the same network as your customer's data.

So the only method is to do whatever file creation and send it to their web server for them to do something with it, just like any other 3rd party.

What if they have their main page on the cloud, but the page to our data is an html page on their network and linked from their cloud web page. Wouldn't that be the same as having the entire web page on their network?

I think thats right..

I don't know what you are saying.
I thought that you want your customer's data to be available to their clients.
What data are you talking about?

Yes, I am saying that their main web page can be on their providers site. There will be a link for their customers or drivers to click to login to our htmi page on their server, where it will be set up accordingly with whatever pages we create. They do have ADS and 2.0.

To me its the same as having their entire web page on their network server.

Just trying to come up with options, if they will work.
