Scenario:
New Project ground up
little or no original site import
large amount of pages 1,000’s for perspective
Step one goal:
Site files “mapping” Site files organizational tree
Create actual skeleton files preemptively based on known name.html
Automation script for Step one goal desired:
Given a list of file names eg. names.tab
In dialog window input or select or create new folder/directory
On Run: create a new file for each record in names.tab import file
each new file will be based on existing template.
Could even name them NEW_name.html so you know in site files tree all your new “empty” ones exist and need content added by yourself or a larger content authoring team.
Hope that makes sense.
