crossposted from LEAD..
Hi Stefan
I am aware of an extension, called StaticXT, that was featured in this a recent Joomla Weekly News that enabled a static content site to be imported into a Joomla site.
There also seems to be a number of other Custom Code extensions which offer the inclusion of Static / html pages into a site, so do check them out.
Once the content is in the system, one could create sections, categories manually, and use the Content Items Manager to move numerous items into each respective category and section.
Still somewhat manual, but it should save lots of time and effort. There may be easier and better ways.
Does anyone else know of a better way?
Cheers, Sean

Hi
I have googled and forumed myself silly, without any results. I have written
a script that produces html content for my webpage. I would like to know
whether anyone is aware of a command-line interface in Joomla, to
automatically add new sections, categories and articles to my website. I
honestly do not want to sit and add hundreds of articles by hand...
If Joomla does not have this functionality, is Drupal, phpNuke, ... any
better?
Stefan

There is no "command line interface". You can accomplish this by
writing/ modifying a database script, because that's where all the
content goes. For example, in Drupal you would write something that
adds "nodes". I'm sure there are plenty of Drupal examples available
(using the Drupal API it should be a breeze). I don't know about
Joomla.
Let me know if you need help with Drupal.
