Hello,

I am new to drupal and love it. But I do not find a feature I need: mass editing.

By mass editing I mean the possibility for the user to select many nodes and modify then all at the same time. I found such feature on the administer>content management>content page. But user can only "publish", "delete", "make sticky",... I would like him to be able to modify any field of the selected objects.

Is there already a module for that? Or should I try to modify the content page or create a module?

Thank you very much in advance for you advices.

Look into the jstools family of modules, and install pagearray. You then can directly edit any visible component (headline, body, etc) from any list-type page without having to actually open up the full node edit form. The Ajax tool fetches just the form subcomponent related to the piece you're going to edit. Very slick.

I should have pointed to the http://drupal.org/project/jstools Javascript Tools module.

Thank you for your answer. Indeed it looks great for editing. But I do not see any feature to edit many nodes at the same time.

I found the following module: Bulk operation views. It does exactly what I was looking for.

Editable Views can be a good choice, you can make a list of nodes/contents, with selected fields ready to be edited (very similar to phpmyadmin).
