Mass node create module
Does anyone know if there's a module that can be used to generate a large number of nodes at once, perhaps 1 per line with much reduced options? It'd come in handy for a lot of CCK stuff I want to do with simple information where you don't need all the menu, input format etc boxes for everything. If not, I'll make one, but just wanted to check I wasn't duplicating effort first. Thanks!

See the scripts directory of devel module.

The devel module has a "generate" module that can generate a bunch of dud nodes, comments, users, etc. for testing purposes. --Larry Garfield On Mon, 2 Jul 2007 19:00:16 +0100, Bob <anarchybob@gmail.com> wrote:

Ah, this isn't for dud nodes though. This is to add, say, 20 nodes each just with a title and a couple of sentences, for instance, and for general users to use. I guess i'd better get typing :) On 02/07/07, Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com> wrote:

Would something like this do? http://drupal.org/project/node_import I haven't tried it but it says it can import nodes from a comma delimited or tab delimited text file. Now, about "for general users to use"... beware of spam. On 7/2/07, Bob <anarchybob@gmail.com> wrote:

Try using drupal_execute() (http://api.drupal.org/api/5/function/drupal_execute) to simulate the submission of a node form. -Rob Bob wrote:
