Any way to batch add taxonomy terms ?

I want to add 10 - 20 terms in one batch to a taxonomy term, separated by line breaks... Is this possible ?

Thanks

not from within drupal, but for experienced user from a mysql prompt you could do this.

btw, that would take more time than adding 10 by hand I think?

Well actually I'm thinking of adding thousands, 2000 minimum - I got a few projects like that lined up.

There are a number of external scripts included with the devel.module that you could extend.

Hmm ok, interesting. I'll try them out...

But if I wanted to create a patch in the Vocabulary or Term creation modules, what modules should I look at ?

OK I see what you mean... the Devel 4.4.0 description says:

http://drupal.org/project/devel
"Also includes some scripts for quickly generating lots of nodes and taxonomy terms."

I am modifing the taxonomy.module using code from generate-taxonomy-terms.php so that batched terms can be posted.

As soon as it works well, I'll want to add a CVS entry.

Now I need to read and find out how to contribute the code :).

Whooo Hooo !!!!!!! This is my first Open source contribution. !!!

Start here: http://drupal.org/node/316

I suggest you also sign up for Drupal-dev mailing list to monitor the ebb and flow of the process.
