Hi,
I searched Drupal whole site plus modules CVS repository to see if there is anyway to edit multiply nodes at once.
but all find was some modules for taxonomies not nodes.
I thought to myself that this feature is very basic so i can't find it or it doesn't exists at all.

Any idea?

Regards

Hi there!
There is no way to edit multiple nodes at once. You have to edit one by one. Because Drupal does not provide functionality to track the changes to multiple nodes. i.e. if you update a node then drupal will update that node only.
Hope this will helpful to you.

There's the editview module (http://drupal.org/project/editview) that might provide the functionality you are seeking.

or maybe this module: http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations

Thanks everyone!
very helpful answers, editView is what i was looking for. i had to apply its require patch by hand! but it worth it (seems no one maintain it anymore). i updated its require patch for Drupal 5.6 in case you are needed it :)
http://drupal.org/node/119208

views_bulk_operations is also very useful for mass editing.

There is also now a direct solution for this issue : http://drupal.org/project/multi_node_edit

Which allows you to edit nodes on a single page, with a single submit button to update them all. Its not fully complete yet, but the dev code should work. Please try it and report back in the issue queue.

Unfortunately, this solution was only developed for Drupal 6.

Try http://drupal.org/project/editablefields module for D7.
See example here: http://eureka.ykyuen.info/2012/12/13/drupal-7-update-multiple-nodes-at-o...

I just installed this module and I can't figure out how to use it. Where do I select the nodes I want to perform a multi edit?
