Look at how we can get some content at startup... for the new folks forking and running the project

[TimGeyssens]

Now uSync handles the rest... but also some intial content would be ace

[CarlSargunar]

I actually had this as a package idea - a Lorem Ipsum content generator for initially setting up a site. It's a pain in the ass task and it would also perhaps make me get on and finish my package for it too

[TimGeyssens]

sounds good!

[TimGeyssens]

Maybe if we ask nice Kevin can give us a dev license for uSync content edition... that just works locally + maybe xip.io domains...

uSync Content Edition doesn't require a license

[TimGeyssens]

@skttl ... well I be damned... thanks :)

I had a ebook -> content generator somewhere - so you could push a load of ebook stuff into umbraco - used it mainly for load testing.

[KevinJump]

The localgov starter kit, used a slightly modified bit of code to call uSync.Core - https://github.com/KevinJump/LocalGovStarterKit/blob/v6-main/Src/Jumoo.StarterKit.Installer/ContentImporter.cs

and it also had some code to importe the LGNL (UK Localgoverment navigation list - which you can get as an XML feed)

it did it from a dashboard after you installed it. https://github.com/KevinJump/LocalGovStarterKit/blob/v6-main/Src/LGStarterKit.Site/App_Plugins/lgsk/StarterKitInstall.ascx

this should be simpler with v8 version of uSync

[TimGeyssens]

Ok uSync content edition has been added :)

[TimGeyssens]

For now I'll close this one.... if we need more advance stuff like Kevin mentions we can add new issue

[CarlSargunar]

Sounds good - thanks for the info @KevinJump

[CarlSargunar]

It might be an idea to add some info to the readme for anyone less familiar with uSync, and also generally for the initial website setup so we can get to a common starting point with a database containing content AND structure sooner rather than later

[TimGeyssens]

@CarlSargunar good idea, feel free to update the readme :)
