Right now I'm using the articles module to categorize a large number of, um, articles. However, I'm finding more and more that I like the way books are presented in Drupal, and would like to convert all of my articles into a couple of books.

I checked out the Nodetype module (http://drupal.org/project/nodetype) but it seems to be a bit buggy and not working properly when nodes are changed to books.

Has anyone found a way to, say, create a parent book, and then bulk-add a number of nodes to it, nodes that weren't created as book pages? Looking in the book table, I kind of get how parent/child relationships are structured, but I'm very weary of editing the tables directly.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

If you have BOOK installed, then in the Edit page of all the nodes is an OUTLINE option.

This allows you to put any node into a book.

Work your way through the nodes. (Even at 1-2 hours a day it's amazing how fast you can work your way through some big numbers).

BULK NODES - don't know how to do this, or if it can be done.

Thanks! I had completely forgotten about that tab. I had stumbled across it months ago and hadn't given it any thought since then.

I was going through stuff manually (editing tables, changing node types) but this looks like the quickest solution.

Cheers.
