mass content page creation

[jd]

hi,
i have the following request - I'm in the process of creating a site with lots of content. While using the standard procedure of creating pages, it takes a lot of time and a lot of clicking. Is there any way around it to save a bit of clicking?

Try the attached file ... you must rename it before.

Very interesting.  If you batch-create pages, how do you name them and what do you populate them with?

[cyberman]

The script is very simple and only for mass creation of pages. The page name is content and a ascending number. Every page will have the same content you define in script variable $content. Default is 100 pages.

I'm in a silmilar situation: hoping to be able to move pages from an array, or XML, then continue maintenance, adds and updates using the GUI.

If there is bare bones script around for doing that I'd totally appreciate having a look at it

Thanks ~S

I'm sorry, I just can't unzip this file (using latest 7zip). What format is this ? Can you please just post it as .txt ?

Thanks !

I know - last forum update destroys all attachments  .

Here comes the source:

Code: Select all

<?php
require_once("include.php");


$content =" Please note that users of Microsoft Windows XP with Service Pack 2 will need to unblock this page in order to see the menu. The reason for this is due to the fact that the menu has been written in JavaScript. This feature is considered unsafe when used locally and Service Pack 2 now blocks this by default for your safety. This only happens when you run the menu on a local machine, live use on the Internet will not be affected.";

$end = 100;

$max_c=0;$max_h=0;$max_l=0;$max_s=0;$i=0;$parent=1;

global $gCms;
$db =&$gCms->db;

while ($i < $end)
{
  $ok =false;$tmp=0;
  $i++;
   echo 'Content - Number '.$i.' is running :';
    $max_c++;
    echo 'Content no: '.$max_c.'<br />';
    $type='content';$tmp=$max_c;
    $propname='content_en';
    $addcontent='Content Number'.$max_c.'<br />'.$content;


$owner=1;$templateid=1;$active=1;$cachable=1;$lasteditby=1;
$mname=$type.$tmp;$malias=$mname;$menutext=$mname;$order=$i+4;

$hierarchy='00001.'.str_repeat('0',5-strlen($order)).$order;

$newid = $db->GenID(cms_db_prefix()."content_seq");
$query = "INSERT INTO ".$config["db_prefix"]."content (content_id, content_name, content_alias, type, owner_id, parent_id, template_id, item_order, hierarchy, active, default_content, show_in_menu, cachable, menu_text, collapsed, markup, last_modified_by, create_date, modified_date) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";
$dbresult = $db->Execute($query, array(
                        $newid,
			$mname,
			$malias,
			strtolower($type),
			$owner,
			1,
			1,
			$order,
			$hierarchy,
			1,
			0,
			1,
			1,
			$menutext,
                        0,
			'html',
			1,
			$db->DBTimeStamp(time()),
			$db->DBTimeStamp(time())
			));

$query = "INSERT INTO ".cms_db_prefix()."content_props (content_id, type, prop_name, param1, param2, param3, content) VALUES (?,?,?,?,?,?,?)";

$dbresult = $db->Execute($query, array($newid,'string',$propname,'','','',$addcontent,));



}

?>

Haven't tried yet if it works with current cmsms version ...
