Mass Creation of Entries Without taking the time to explain the reason behind the requirement, I need to make about 3,000 empty entries.

How can I do this, that is how can I generate X number of entries without manually saving them from the admin area, outside of writing my own plugin? I don't think there's any good way to just write some SQL and barf them into existence right inside the database :(

Edit:

So I'm fairly certain this would have to be done via custom plugin development if it is indeed possible. I've never made a Craft plugin before, so I'm a little gunshy!

I imagine the structure of the plugin would be something like this:

public function onSaveEntry(Event $event)
{
    $title = $entry-&gt;title;

    for ( $i = $title; $i&lt;8000; $i++)
    {
        do
        {
            public function saveEntry(EntryModel $entry)
        }
    }
}


Now, this is pseudo-code at best. I'm not sure what to exactly do here. But I hope this illustrates my thinking:


When I save a new entry, I want this thing to fire.
Right now my entries have auto-generated titles: take the last entry and add one: 5000 -> 5001 -> 5002, etc.
As long as we have less than 8000 entries (technically 3000 entries, as our entry titles will be 5000 - 8000) we want to keep saving new entries.
Once we finally save an entry with a title of 7999 or 8000, stop making entries.


Is this possible? What do I need to do?

Thank you soooo much to whoever out there can help me out!
Or you could just use an existing seeding plugin like A&amp;M Seed. :)

Even if it does do exactly what you're looking for, you can use it as a starting point for your plugin.
