Question

I love the idea of BulkRegistration. I'd like to have a generic variant of this that will let me specify any arbitrary (existing) template page which includes a form, specify a table of data values, and say "create as many pages as necessary, using this template, and insert the specified data values into the forms on those pages"

Does something like this exist now? Or am I looking at a feature request?

nice idea Vicki - yes, a FeatureRequest or plugin will be needed - actually, its not something that would be done that often - compared to viewing a topic etc, so Plugin... make a Plugin smile

You should look at ExcelImportExportPlugin as I believe it will do most of what you're looking for. I used this plugin successfully to bulk-create 28,000 topics!

I would never have guessed that from the plugin name.

Oh, I dunno Sven. I betcha it would be done a lot more often than you think...
