hello dear drupalers.

i run drupal commons 6x24 - and i wnt to do some (preliminary ) creation - of groups (note i have 3000 groups that should be added to the database.

How would you programmatically create an mass of OG groups? I have tried with some import-sql-statements - but to no joy. Well then i have digged deeper into the http://drupal.org/project/mass_create

This is a module that was made for developers who want to fill the site with a content skeleton.

Well i have had luck with doing this for the content of titles and standard-body-conetent.

Some guys told me that i use it for

  • From a titles list and
  • a standard body content,

One can create the corresponding nodes (having choosen the adapted content type) and can set a menu to put the nodes in and a term to tag with.
Well - can i use this (http://drupal.org/project/mass_create) for a mass content import, Note - i do not want to use it for a complete fake content creator : The Mass-Create is a mix between this to simply create the skeleton of your site with true nodes containing a temporary content.To come, if needed: add multiple terms, general settings (like authorized content types).

See http://drupal.org/project/mass_create

Question do you have done some mass-content import for Organic-groups

I look forward to a fruitful discussion

I haven't used it for OG, but http://drupal.org/project/devel generates content. You might have to create the groups yourself, though.

hi good day silverwing

drupal devel is very intresting - i sure will install it at the weekend.

btw - which permissions do i need for the installation - which prerequesites are needed!?

The only prerequisites should be core modules, so nothing else to download (at least for D6 which is the only version I've used of it.)

Permissions - user/1 to install and generate content. Other options are available for permission on the standard permissions page. Read the project page/documentation if you're unsure.
