Bulk Upload Possible?

Submitted by Dan Dooré on Wed, 2006-04-05 12:41. Site Maintenance

Is there a method of providing data for a bulk upload as I have 85 Fred disc pages that I want to put up?

As I said when I replied to your email, drupal doesn’t provide anything to achieve this automatically. If you know mySQL better than me, tell me what details you need in order to write a script mySQL commands. The other method would be a perl script, or wget, to submit pages through the web server just as a browser would.

And I still need to think of a way to present them on the site, because I don’t want 83 individual Fred pages in the products index. (And, potentially, a similar number of Supplement, Outlet, etc.)

I haven’t recieved an email hence why I posted it up.

All I can suggest is having a sub-catagory if drupal will allow it so that you can have a product like ‘Fred Magazine’ but underneath that the issues that can be shown as sub-items without polluting the main index?

Looking at the Newsdisk things it looks like you’re already doing something like this though.

As for MySQL ‘select * from emp;’ is as far as I know…

I’ll try sending the email again.

Meanwhile, yes the newsdisk pages are me experimenting with how to do product sub-pages. As you can see, it needs a bit more work in the mySQL to get an index or previous/next links working.

(What other kind of information needs to go on pages such as this? At the moment it’s a very boring list of items. Let me know what other fields might be useful - bearing in mind that generic information will remain available in the parent product page).
