Hi,

I need to add multiple nodes in 1 go. I can't find a solution coming close to that.

I'm aware of the module Multi Node Add (http://drupal.org/project/multi_node_add), but since there is only 1 release (May 2011), 1 maintainer and no version for Drupal 7, I wonder whether there is an alternative. Here's the use case:

1. Each month I add a bunch of nodes. These nodes include various node references, file uploads, images...
2. Adding these nodes 1 by 1 takes a long long time. Simply put, it ain't no good to do it that way
3. The node references, where I sometimes have to create new nodes if not present in the DB, makes an excel file rather difficult for the ref has to be exact. The current form uses autocomplete node refs, which would be most useful
4. XML file is rather difficult for the same reasons as on 3

So it seems better to have a multi node add form. Anyone found a solution for this type of problem?

I use Feeds module http://drupal.org/project/feeds which is great for importing mutiple nodes, in my case sometimes in the hundreds.

Getting all the settings just right can be a job, particularly if you have non-existent node refs, but once you have it configured for your situation, you can import easily from a csv with the click of a button.

Certainly worth checking out :)

Yes, know that one. But using feeds with non-existent node refs is a bit hard. Definitely if the one importing the content is not well versed in techy stuff. I need a more simple solution, where the user is not facing semi-complex issues.

But I also read that having a multi add is not possible then.
