Editor's Note
- This extension requires registration to download.
Why waste time repeating steps over and over again, when you can do the same thing with just a few clicks?
This extension will allow you to:
- Create articles in bulk (Lots of options available)
- Categories in bulk (Lots of options available)
- Link to Menu
- Delete Articles in bulk (Several options available)
OSContent (www.ostraining.com/oscontent) was forked from MassContent (www.baticore.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1&Itemid=14) because it was only available for Joomla 1.5. So we've made it available for Joomla 1.7 natively and fixed a few bugs. If you spot any bugs, please let us know as we intend to actively develop this extension as we do the rest of our extensions.

have a rather large site and this works great! I didnt see the 1.5 version though which I though would run until April which is terrible as I have a huge 1.5 site I need to edit on no support on it
I was looking for a mass content component for the new joomla 1.7, the mass content was not right. I decided to give this a chance, and it worked perfectly!
Better if having a version pt-BR.
Yet the fields are quite intuitive.
The real problem is that the content to be inserted does not have any kind of formatting. Not even the basics: bold, italic and underlined.

Hi rpolesi,
I think there might be a misunderstanding. All formatting is maintained. So if you have bold, italic, or underlined tags, it's maintained in the code. This also includes even more advanced tags. Whatever formatting you have when you paste or type in the text box, it's all maintained. We even provide an optional WYSIWYG editor.
As to having a Portuguese (Brazilian) version, we don't know Portuguese so we rely on people like you to translate. It would be great if you could help translate it and we can include it within the next version.
Kind regards,
Nick
Excellent time saver when building websites with many pages(articles).
Thanks for this wonderful component.
Thanks for this wonderful component.
Very quick way to add multiple pages, categories.
This should be in the core of Joomla.
Intuitive to use, will reduce site build time for sure.
Will be using this on every new site, it is now part of my core install with all my favourite extensions.
Really fantastic job by the developer :)

It is great that this team have picked up the development of this tool. In 1.5 it has been an essential part of our site development, and I had been watching intently for it to be released on 1.7.
It is great to have OS taking it on. The ability to add content to child menu items is fantastic. This tool helps us to quickly set up our site information architecture and add notes about content or dummy content with ease.
I contacted the developers with an issue and they responded quickly. They also personally emailed me to alert me to the fact that they had released a new version, certainly not something I expect, but as I had had recent contact with them it was a very nice thing to do.
Thanks!

I've used the Mass Content component for several years, and was very glad to see OS Training's fork of this for Joomla 1.7.
This is installed on every site I do ... it dramatically speeds up the creation of the base website and is on my "must install on every site" list.
And, since I have a "core" site with my favorite extensions pre-installed that I clone when I build a new site, this one has made it to my "core."
Thanks again for this important contribution.

I think this is a must have tool for content based websites. Unfortunately after successful installation I tried twice to enter 5-6 Articles (including Titles/Aliases/Intro texts I found an error message that Articles could not be added. I have linked articles with category also.
But when I see in the 'Article manager' one of those articles is there but that can not be published (showing 'published' status) in the front end.
Front End shows '3 Articles in this category' when we see the Category List but list shows only two.
I need your help to rectify this problem.
I think there may be some mistake from my end.
I can provide login information.

Thanks for the review!
Could you open up a support ticket via our contact form (http://www.ostraining.com/contactus/)? If it's an error on our end, we'll get it fixed either tomorrow or over the weekend.
Cheers!
OScontent is a huge time saver. Saved me having to go in and remove all the content on my site manually, and is great for getting rid of the dummy content when you install Joomla.
Nice work guys! Thanks for another cool extension!
