A single interface to build many pages?

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I have a client that wants to add a bunch of content "easily" which I've now just considered could be a single interface with a series of inputs. Then, I guess some sort of array exploder would make pages out of it.

I'm sure this is common, but I have no idea how to do it really beyond this vague description. Is there an Add-On that works like this?

As much off the shelf as possible:

A:
Designer content to create a block and then manually edit the view or template to put boilerplate round a few standard inputs.

A page type for the pages with the above block in them.

Then composer to collect the standard inputs and generate the pages.

B:
A content block for the boilerplate with Magic Data tokens to insert attributes.

Magic Data for filling the tokens in the boilerplate (I have an addon in the PRB that will make Magic Data very easy to use for trivial cases like this - it will be free, but requires Magic Data)

A page type to create pre-populated pages that your client can then set the attributes for.

Maybe also do this using composer.

C:
As (A), but using page attributes.

Hey, thanks! I'll take a look into this because I'm not sure about much of anything except for Designer Content, which is awesome.

I also just found this very helpful bit of information:

Which seems like something that makes sense, but it would surely be a learning process to get it working and then get it working within C5.

Also, ooooh, that's what Composer is for. I think I'm starting to get it. I've been avoiding it.
