Best way to mass create resources?

[John917]

I was hoping to manually create mysql database tables to mass create resources. I've noticed this may be difficult to do as some columns have "blobs" like "custom_fields" for the resources table, and not only that, I have to get the thread id right and so on.

So I'm thinking of mass creating resources with the software with simple names like (filler thread 1, filler thread 2) and so on. Then edit the tables afterwards so I don't have to worry about getting the sequential thread id's correct as they will be already created.

Is there a way to automatically mass create filler threads like this? I know this is custom addon work but was wondering if this was quite easy to do?

Pretty sure there's a free addon here that does that already.
