I'm resurrecting an old thread just before starting to look at it
myself. I'm likely to work on a project where it will be needed to
update a large number of pages. I think it may be possible to dump the
content out to a bunch of files from where it should be possible to pick
up the pages, add the usual stuff and update the pages to a Radiant site
using a script.
Is there anyone doing so using the script below or something similar?
Would it be possible to share?
I've never used script/runner with a live site but I'm willing to look
at the relevant stuff in the Rails world to make that happen. But I'm
just starting to wonder how to keep this site scalable (since it
involves the migration of about 7 books from PDF to Radiant) with a
bunch of relatively standard things to be included on each page.
Thanks,
Mohit.
