1.Content test – generated content
Often we need content to help test new content types. However, creating content manually can be very time consuming. Instead, we can use the Devel Generate – a module, bundled in GovCMS.
Note: The Devel Generate module should not be enabled or used in a production website.
​
1.Navigate to Extend and search for Devel Generate. Enable the module if not enabled already.
​
2.Go to Configuration → Development → Generate content
3.Select the Job Posting checkbox
4.Enter 10 in the How many nodes would you like to generate? field
5.Click Generate button
Note: Content generated by the Devel Generate module is not published by default – this is due to active content moderation workflow. Make sure you publish content if necessary.
