Ability to bulk upload pages

closed

Ability to have a simple HTML/Markdown file that can be uploaded to a specific path, where the name of the file is used for the page name, possibly even allow the user to specify the parent root

e.g. File Named: Swords, Parent Root: Items

Use the local disk / git storage options to mass import pages. That's literally what its for.

Isn't that something you can already do with local/git storage option?
I have inserted like that 1.5k pages with 600 MB of various documents from DokuWiki converted(ish) to markdwon.
Just create proper structure and push changes to your storage solution.
Tested on gitlab repo -> wiki.js.

iuooip: although this could work, there are several issues. 
I currently use a Database (MSSQL) for storage,
I also only use Azure DevOps for git and currently that is unsupported.
I dont see anywhere in the doc stating if you switch from local/git storage that it will insert the current entries into the database.

iuooip: Thanks a lot. Saved me a ton of time. I was not aware that the wiki was a seperate .git project that I can just clone, and then push to. Have a nice 2022.

As a note, i have well over 50000 items to import to our Wiki.js wiki. Among other page data aswell.
I can get our program to generate the markdown for each item, placing them into a file and such, but manually adding these would take an exeptional amount of time.
Plus this would be an amazing feature for the system to have as well :)

Nick Hough: Any chance you have managed to do this? I would like to do something similar for auto generating pages from doxygen code HTML files.

Thomas McElroy: I use the local file storage sync for a semi-regular conversion between dokuwiki and wiki.js. Not on the scale of 10s of thousands of pages, and since it is fairly slow I don't know how well that would work. But at least pages are imported into the database and a "re-generation" updates all links. Anyway a test is fairly straight forward to do with a test installation using docker. (Here's a link to my attempt at describing how to do that: https://github.com/thoni56/dokuwiki2wikijs#installation-conversion, you can skip the first section since that is about doing the conversion)
