In 5 years in the CMS world there's never been a need to bulk load formatted data? Of any kind? Be it contacts or address lists or people lists? You do it by hand every time?

I am resisting it. I just want a better way to define a new content type (be it CPSSchema or Archetype) and load previous data automatically, instead of inserting thousands of records by hand just because "a CMS is not na HTML interface to a bunch of SQL tables". I know its not, I dont want it to be; I just need to migrate thousands of records into a CMS and cant seem to find a simple (not even automatic) way to do it. I've even looked at Zope's export/import XML formats but I'm not even going into that mess.... -- MV _______________________________________________ cps-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nuxeo.com/mailman/listinfo/cps-users
