Quoting Fred Jones fredthejonester@gmail.com:
I am working on importing a large set of HTML pages. There are about 12K pages organized into 40 volumes. Each volume it seems will average about 300 pages. I am working with the Import HTML module to get them into Drupal, and thus far, initial tests look good.
I have a few questions how to structure the data however:
- How can I create 'next' and 'prev' links to allow the user to move
easily between pages?
I suggest Node Relativity[1] to control parent/child relationships.
- Shall I use one taxonomy vocabulary with 40 entries to label each
page as to which volume it belongs to?
It might be beneficial. But still wouldn't control the parent/child relationship.
- With regard to images, there are 'image references' in the import
files which refer to images named the same as the HTML file. These references are not HTML--they are plain text like <Image Reference Vol 02 Page 8>. I was thinking to do the import and then make a script to run through the imported data and convert those to IMG tags. I suppose I could also accomplish that in real time on each page request, but a one-time script seems to make more sense to me.
Maybe use CCK[2] and its image field[3]?
