I need to import a number of articles. I am trying to hack together a quick function. What follows is my initial attempt. Is there a more elegant approach?

PHP Code:

<?php
define('VB_PRODUCT', 'vbcms');
define('VB_ENTRY', 1);
define('VB_ROUTER_SEGMENT', 'content');
define('GET_EDIT_TEMPLATES', 'picture');
define('CMS_SCRIPT', true);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'vbcms');
define('FRIENDLY_URL_LINK', 'vbcms');


// here I commented out:
// print_output(vB_Router::getResponse());
require_once('vb/_bootstrap.php');

// here I extended
// class whip_vBCms_Content_Article extends vBCms_Content_Article
require_once('_whip_vBCms_Content_Article.php');

$vBArticle = new whip_vBCms_Content_Article();

$contenttypeid = "18";
$sectionid = 1;
$parentnodeid = 1;
vB::$vbulletin->GPC_exists['parentnode'] = true;
vB::$vbulletin->GPC_exists['sectionid'] = true;
vB::$vbulletin->GPC['sectionid'] = $sectionid;
vB::$vbulletin->GPC_exists['new_contenttype'] = true;
vB::$vbulletin->GPC['parentnode'] = $parentnodeid;
try
{
    $nodedm = new vBCms_DM_Article();
    // create content handler
    $content = vBCms_Content::create(vB_Types::instance()->getContentTypePackage($contenttypeid), vBCms_Types::instance()->getContentTypeClass($contenttypeid));


    // insert default content for the contenttype and get the new contentid

    $content->setParentNode(vB::$vbulletin->GPC['sectionid']);

    $contentid = $content->createDefaultContent($nodedm);
}
catch (vB_Exception $e)
{
    throw (new vB_Exception_DM('Could not create default content.  Exception thrown with message: \'' . htmlspecialchars_uni($e->getMessage()) . '\''));
}

// Create new content node
$nodedm->set('contenttypeid', $contenttypeid);
$nodedm->set('contentid', $contentid);
$nodedm->set('parentnode', $sectionid);
$nodedm->set('title', (vB::$vbulletin->GPC_exists['section_title']?
    vB::$vbulletin->GPC['section_title'] : vB::$vbulletin->GPC['section_title']) );


//allow child nodes to set the author. This is necessary when we
//promote a post
if (! $nodedm->getSet('userid'))
{
    $nodedm->set('userid', vB::$vbulletin->userinfo['userid']);
}
$nodedm->setField('title', 'larry');
if (!($nodeid = $nodedm->save()))
{
    throw (new vB_Exception_DM('Could not create new node for content: ' . print_r($nodedm->getErrors())));
}


$vBArticle->createDefaultContent($nodedm);



vB_Cache::instance()->event('section_nav_' . vB::$vbulletin->GPC['sectionid']);
vB_Cache::instance()->event('sections_updated');
vB_Cache::instance()->event('articles_updated');
vB_Cache::instance()->cleanNow();



echo '';

I know this is a bit of a slop job but just trying to gen something to get the ball rolling.

Thank you
