Question

I have an application that needs to create multiple topics at once, each from its own template.

So when a topic 'TopicOne' is created, using 'MainTopicTemplate', so is 'TopicOnePartA' using 'TopicPartATemplate', 'TopicOnePartB' using 'TopicPartBTemplate' and so forth.

You need workflow. Does the WorkFlowAddOn help?

No. I don't need 'workflow'

This is not a sequence of actions. This is 'create all of the topics at the same time'. KER-CHUNK

StanleyKnutson plans to post a TopicCreatePlugin where you can add a %TOPICCREATE{}% variable in a template topic that enables you to create multiple topics at once, each based on a different template. This is a half-finished Plugin donated by WindRiver, and completed by Stanley.

Doesn't ChildTopicTemplatePlugin do something similar?

-- FranzJosefSilli - 28 Jul 2005

No. It says:

... All subsequent unlinked WikiWords will be created using the specified topic template.
I want all of the topics to be created together. This has nothing to do with unliked words.

Anton, if you need this soon, contact StanleyKnutson.
