Hi everyone

I'm desperately looking for a solution how to batch change the category of several nodes. I have defined a vocabulary and used some terms. Now I would like to change the categorization of many articles from term A to term B.

This should work similar than with the list all content option in the admin menu where you can batch-unpublish or delete nodes. Instead of say switching the node status from published to unpublished I need the function to change category A to B and vice versa...

please help

cheers

You can use the Taxonomy Multi-Edit module. Another option is to go into the term_node table in the MySQL database and change the tid for each nid that you want to change. For instance, if the existing category is tid=72, but you want to change it to the category that corresponds to tid=76, you can just change the corresponding lines in the term_node table. Sounds more complicated than it is, really.

There's probably a simple PHP script to do this, but I haven't had time to find it/write it, being new to this whole game myself.

edit: too slow on the keyboard! Taxonomy Node Operations looks like what I've been looking for.
