Probably a stupid question, but does anyone know a way to import pages the following way:
1. I have a category (which is one page)
2. Each condition has 9 child-pages

I need to have a way to import or create many pages the same time. There are hundreds of categories. Any one has an idea?
Creating manually those pages is a lot of work and takes a lot of time as well.

maybe you should consider not to use a page for each category but a module with fulltext capability, e.g. announcement or your setup of Form and List module.

I agree with you and originally that was what we had.

But the boss wanted to have impossible navigation and your Form and list could not handle that. Neither your Custom List module.
Other modules out there also were not able to have that kind of functionality and in this way I was forced to create those pages like they are.

And then we come to another issue and that is what everyone seems to call SEO. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) works fine, but the issue is that the content needs to contain basic marketing values (like a content, which is for the users) to attract traffic. That was also not possible to do in the list.
Also each category and page will differ from the others,. A category like Cancer conditions is totally different then those of Poor Eye sight and allergies for cats differ then allergies for Diaries.

No, taking DNN the way how it is designed and implementing that is he most profitable way to do it for the time being. The only thing is that it is a lot of customization work. The results are amazing.

Oh, I totally forgot.

I've found a way of mass input or import.
Pages Admin - Tabs Manager
It's a module for import and export and mass edit and mass creating pages on the fly. Very quick and excellent for what we needed. Within a hour we had 1000 pages created (using templates).
