Hi
I have just installed CMSMS and I find the usual way of adding content to be quite okay for new content. But if I have 400 pages in my old CMS I think it's safe to say that moving content to CMSMS isn't very simple. Is there a workaround or a feature where I am allowed to add multiple pages at a time?
I was told on IRC to try and insert the content directly in the database. I will post a follow up here so others can se how it goes.

Re: Adding large amounts of content
This should do it (easy to say) :
-map your existing database/flatfiles to the CMSms db model.
-write an offline loop program that reads from your old database and writes to CMSms' db.
May be it should move first global content blocs and css, then templates, then pages.
Beware the caracter sets if everything is not UTF8 or same.
Good luck.
If your succeed doing this it would be very nice if you post the result so others can use it.
