In designing a new DNN site, I would love to create a list of pages (name, titles, Descr, keywords, parent page, and maybe a few others) using Excel or a flat file and then just bulk load all these pages into my site - choosing defaults for all the other fields. I find it much easier to play with my design using Excel or something similar--where everything is visible at once and block/copy facilities exist. After customer approval, I'd then create the pages all at once.

Does this exist, even as a 3rd party module or source code change? I have seen several replacements for Admin | Pages, but I didn't see that they did anything like this.

Maybe one could do this through a SQL script though I usually run away from SQL and have yet to look at the internal DB.

Perhaps this should be under the Install forum, but perhaps not.

Thanks!

You can do it by creating a portal template and importing it in the wizard.  During the import process it can be set to add to the existing portal (rather than replace it).  So, log in as host.  Go into Portals.  Export a good example portal to create a template.  Then open that template and using it as an example, you can figure out how to specify the pages to add, etc.  Then import that into the portal you want to add the pages to through the wizard.

I'd probably test it first on a test installation.
