While working on our intranet package we needed a fast way to create a couple of nodes without messing too much with the user interface. I just wrote a module (http://drupal.org/project/multi_node_add) that provides a convient way to create many nodes in one page.

This is not a trivial task interface-wise, because usually the content-types has many fields (CCK or other) and here we need to create many nodes!

So the module provides a list of the fields and the user is able to choose which fields he wants to use to create the nodes, he can specify how many nodes he wants to create.  Note than you can always add more nodes on the fly clicking the "add two more nodes" button. 

After that the node rows (the field widgets appear in a row, just opposite of the normal node create form) appear at the bottom of the page. Filling the values, and clicking on the "Save all nodes" button will save all the nodes at the same time, but you can also save nodes one at a time in the UI. All of the node rows have their Create button also, why?

There is a good reason for that, the best example is when the content-type has a nodereference field, after you save one of the nodes, you can immediately reference this new node in the new nodes you create using the module.

The module heavily uses javascript to ensure the abilty of adding new node input rows on-the-fly. On the roadmap, we would like to add a really simple UI that shows only the title of nodes, and then allows to add new fields to the table as we need to edit them... If you have any ideas on how to make this module cooler, let me know!

I''d love to hear about the module from you! Feature requests or bug reports are highly appreciated!
