Generate new pages dynamically?
slandry - June 9, 2009 - 14:50
Situation:
I'm working on a new site concept. It's about cities and towns in the US. I have a list of the states (50) and their corresponding towns (about 35,000+).
What I'd like to do is upload, copy/paste or import the list into Drupal and have it create all 35K pages dynamically. Just blank for now until I add the individual content later.
Questions
1. Is there a way for me to create a taxonomy without having to key each state and city individually?
2. How can I use the taxonomy to create the navigation California > San Francisco
3. Is the taxonomy the best approach for this problem?
Thanks so much for any responses!
1. you could take a look
1. you could take a look at:
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_xml
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_csv
2. you can do that using hierarchy and http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_menu
3. Yes, certainly the most flexible
There's one thing that these modules don't solve. The pages still aren't created, just the terms and the navigation.
Huge leap forward!
Thanks for saving me the trouble of keying all these values one by one!
Once the taxonomy navigation is complete is there a way for me to add a "create this page..." (a la Wiki style?). As I have the content ready for the particular page?
