Hi,

I'm looking a module for creating multiple content into the same form.

I've a very lot of content to insert in database, and i would like to have possibility to enter most possible in the same page.

If you know this type of module, ..
thanks ;)

You don't mention how the data is organized. If it doesn't have to be stored in multiple nodes, CCK might be what you need. CCK will allow you to create multiple data storage fields on a single node/page

With cck, i can create a lot of data in the same article, but not a lot of articles.

An exemple >
I want to make a site on 'dog'. I've a lot of page to put in drupal.
Menu is :

.dog
> race 1
> > name 1 of race 1,
...... it's page,
> > name 2 of race 1,
...... it's page,
> > name 3 of race 1,
...... it's page,
> race 2
> > name 1 of race 2,
...... it's page,
> > name 2of race 2,
...... it's page,
> > name 3 of race 2,
...... it's page,

I don't need publishing options, formats, visibility, etc..
I just need 'name of article', 'article and which menu.

But if i can have 50 'textarea' in the same page, it would be quickly ;)

Thanks,

I think I know what you're looking for - but I'm sorry I can't provide the right answers - yet..:]
But maybe I can try to ask the same question a bit differently, since I have done something similar on a different system called 'webedition'. In that cms there's this thing they call a 'block' (same name, completely different function than in drupal).. - ..I'd like to call it actually a 'loop'.

anyways - details:
..with a cck you can do things like this:

• title
• text
• picture

or

• title
• subtitle1
• text1
• picture1
• subtitle2
• text2
• picture2

..what you (and I) are probably looking for would look like this:

• title
--loop starts--
• subtitle-X
• text-X
• picture-X
--loop ends--

..you can of course do things like that with the module VIEWS.. - ..but what if you'd want to have such a structure as a default content type - so that any user without VIEWS-rights (and VIEWS-knowledge) can add a new document with a flexible number of paragraphs / pictures / whatever-is-inside-the-loop..? ..mybe the (great!) module CATEGORY plus VIEWS could help..?
..as I said: I also dont know if there's a way / a module to do such a loopy-thingy.. - ..but maybe the above example 'helps' someone else to find the answer..? ..that would be soo nice..:]

greetz, till..

ps: in the cms Webedition I mentioned above it is also possible to rearrange/resort all the paragraphs against each other - by simply clicking on little arrow-icons (up/down) ..to be able to do the same in drupal that would actually topp all my expectations..:] ..any suggestions..?
