Instead of having a javascript flagging operator in the Views output, would it be possible to have checkboxes to flag multiple items at once?

Views Bulk Operations does this, and I remember reading recently a guide to another flagging system that allowed you to go through multiple pages and the checkboxes were carried through.

This module already works with VBO (I've just fixed a bug that prevented this from hapenning), and with Drupal's own bulk operation utility (q=admin/content/node).

I see you're using D6, and VBO's homepage doesn't seem to indicate it has a compatible version, but you should be able to use any other VBO-like module.

What, in your opinion, is missing? (And, BTW, why aren't you extremely fond of the javascript operator?) I'm marking this 'needs info'.

Incidentally, there are two kinds of checkboxes:

1. Those that checking them means "Flag these nodes when I click 'submit'".

2. Those whose state (checked or unchecked) reflects the state of the node's flag.

I assume you are talking about the first kind.

(BTW, VBO for D6 is out and is supposed to work with flag.)
