Usage

Make a tabbed-out file as directed in the form that appears above. Make sure that you use tabs, not spaces. Visit http://localhost/SiteTreeImporter?flush=1. Select your tabbed-out file in the file field, and tick the other two boxes as appropriate:

Clear out all existing content? - This will delete everything from your site before running the importer. Use with caution! If you don't tick this, then the pages will be added to the existing site.

Publish everything after the import? - This will publish each of the pages that the importer creates. If you don't tick this, then the pages will be left as draft-only.

Format

The site tree import module lets you take a tabbed out file of the following format, and load it into your CMS as a site tree.
