If someone needs to test how News Manager works with a big number of posts, you can use this quick and dirty script:
Copypaste and save it in your site's root folder with the name you wish, e.g. nm-test-posts.php
Edit the first lines of the script: change the number of posts ($NUM), slug prefix ($SLUG), start/end dates...
Then open it in your browser, e.g.: SITE/nm-test-posts.php
You should see a "xxx test posts generated." message and a "Delete them" link.
That's it. Now you can test how it works both in backend and frontend (maybe in another browser window/tab)
To delete the test posts, you can use the "delete them" link that the script displayed, or else visit SITE/nm-test-posts.php?delete and browse again to the NM admin panel (to refresh)
Code:
<?php
$DIR = 'data/posts';
$NUM = 1000;
$SLUG = 'nm-test-post-';
$STARTDATE = strtotime('1 Aug 2014');
$ENDDATE = strtotime('15 May 2016');
if (isset($_GET['delete'])) {
foreach(glob($DIR.'/'.$SLUG.'*.xml') as $file)
unlink($file);
?>Test posts deleted. - <a href="<?php echo basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?>">Generate test posts</a><?php
} else {
for ($i = 1; $i <= $NUM; $i++) {
$str = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><item>
<title><![CDATA[News Manager test post #'.
strval($i)
.']]></title>
<date><![CDATA['.
date("F j, Y, g:i a",$STARTDATE+$i*($ENDDATE-$STARTDATE)/$NUM)
.']]></date>
