Question

I'm a user - not an admin, though I could probably get the admin to do things for me - of a TWiki where I work. We're using the Fri, 31 Mar 2006 build 9626 of TWiki.pm.

I'm building a documentation tree from a series of existing docs and a database, and I've written some Perl and SQL scripts to generate the initial content I want people to modify / collaborate on. The problem is that I now have hundreds of topics worth of Twiki "code", but no way to get it into the system except by creating the topics one-by-one and pasting into them. Is there a way to bulk upload topics? (Not attachments, mind you, but the topics themselves?)

Answer

If you answer a question - or have a question you asked answered by someone - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status is in a drop-down list below the edit box.

(Please do not register with a screen name, twiki.org prefers real first and last names. If you prefer to stay anonymous login as a guest.)

If your topics are in txt format, you can just copy each file as SomeTopic.txt into the twiki/data/Webname directory

TWiki will see them and treat them as topics - and when someone edits it, TWiki will add the revision file, and its internal data.

You could also import data over http, see CPAN:LWP::UserAgent and CPAN:WWW::Mechanize.
