I'm looking for a solution. I have a new site I want to create and I'd like to auto-create hundreds of threads in the system without having to manually type them in.
For example, if I already had the forum node structure setup for every major city in the USA, let's just say that I created 250 nodes, then I would want a tool that could quickly and easily start a new thread inside each of the nodes with variable information that could be supplied in a csv file (I have no idea how it would be fed, that's what I'm partially asking).
However, the end result would be that I could have a forum where each node would have a new thread started.
Formula: {keyword1} and {keyword2} times in {city}, {state} for {year}
Then feed the list and have threads like this populated:
Sunrise and Sunset times in Butte, Montana for 2014
Sunrise and Sunset times in Boise, Idaho for 2014
... clearly there would have to be a way to map these.
I'd ok with doing it semi-manually and creating a sql statement that would do it all and attach it to a specific user where I'd have to update the core information each time ... but that's a last resort. I've literally got thousands of these that I'd like to create.
