Can i use this for a Gaming forum? can i set it somehow to talk about games and so on??? Very intresting!!

 

[Ozzy47]

No, this just adds dummy data to your site, this addon is mostly designed to help populate test forums.

Ahaaa oook.. is there something like that at all?

 

[Sweden]

well is it possible to only put in users? or does it put in all

 

[Ozzy47]

No, there is no addon that adds discussion to your site, that needs to be done by people.

 

[Ozzy47]

well is it possible to only put in users? or does it put in all

IIRC you can. Remember though, you need to work from the command line with this addon.

 

[Sweden]

so i installed it but how do i use it? cant see an option in addons

 

[Sweden]

ohh that sounds advanced... think ill skip this then

 

[Ozzy47]

There are no options, you need ssh access to your server and run it from the command line. This addon is probably more suited for what you need, https://xenforo.com/community/resources/th-fake-users.4845/

So I installed this add-on. So what's next?

# php cmd.php tck-seeder:seed
Could not open input file: cmd.php

??

 

[TickTackk]

@gogo You need to run that command from the XenForo installation directory.

@TickTackk

# php cmd.php tck-seeder:seed
Not enough arguments (missing: "seed").

# php cmd.php tck-seeder:seed posts
Provided seed 'posts' does not exist.

Is there any instruction for this add-on? And, after doing the test with all dummy data, can I revoke them?

 

[TickTackk]

Provided seed 'posts' does not exist.

You need to replace posts with class name that you want to seed and is available here,

Is there any instruction for this add-on?

Documentation is non-existent because this add-on is made for developers who already have an idea how this work in XenForo.

And, after doing the test with all dummy data, can I revoke them?

You'll have to manually delete every content. This add-on does not offer to mass delete any content.

 

[gogo]

Got it. Almost caused a disaster to my test forum..

 

[Claudio]

Any plans to include dummy data for any of the official XF addons like Resource Manager and Media?

 

[TickTackk]

Not at this moment.

 

[Claudio]

Some thread titles or usernames should be limited to 50 characters because of this


In another running some forums or pages weren't associated to a parent node:

That screenshot shows you are trying to seed for XFRM which is clearly not supported.
