Hello,

don't laught, but i did it: An Extra that generates random Resources filled with LoremIpsums (incl randomly appending them to a parent)

https://github.com/oleics/LoremIpsum
Currently you can only specify the number of resources to create. There are other parameters to controll the generation that will be implemented fully in a later version.

I attached a package of it.

Have Fun and Good Night.

Thank you, good to know.

I've added more parameters to the CMP, like the probability of isfolder or the number of words for the content.

Package is attached to this post, feedback is welcome.

Thats was too a reason for me to start it. For the development
of another extension called Statiker i need massive amounts
of content for testing. (http://modx.com/extras/package/statiker)

Then there was that post form Dino Dini about Randomness in game-ai
http://dinodini.wordpress.com/2011/03/29/randomness/ Anybody remembers Dino Dini and its GOAL! game?

And to tell you the whole story, the first line of code started
with the need to know how the resource-menu behaves when there is
a massive number of resources. Result: Try yourself and you'll see

LoremIpsum 0.6.1-alpha1 is now downloadable via Package Manager.

Have fun and thank you

EDIT: LoremIpsum 0.6.1-alpha1 allows for the parent-id to be 0

I'm not sure this is working in 2.2.0-pl2.

I tried it first as a child. No resource appeared (forgot to download the text file).

Tried again with the parent set to 0. I saw that it created resource ID 53, which should have been the ID of the first try. However, no such resource exists in the tree.

Here's the output of the second try:

/*
* MODX Console Output
*
* @date 2012-01-27 10:11:15
*/
Resource 53 created.


/* EOF */

I then created a test page to see what ID it would have. This test page is ID 55. Somehow, between creating the second missing loremipsum resource as ID 53 and the regular test page, ID 54 was skipped.

The reality is, the first loremipsum generation is probably ID 53 but since I can't locate it or the second one, I can't verify this.
