Mass delete content
Tmanagement - August 1, 2008 - 11:50
Hi all,
I would like to be able to mass delete content. Before I can delete content I have to tick the node in the content manager of drupal. Deleting 100+ nodes in such a way is not something I want. It would be easy when a tick box existed on the content page with which you can select all tickboxes at once after filtered the apporpriate content. Is there a module that brings such a solution?
I believe this feature
I believe this feature already exists in the Content Management page for Drupal 5 (that's "Administer > Content"). There is a table of content which can be filtered. Next to the "Title" header of that table, there is a checkbox that checks/unchecks all nodes on that page.
Another useful shortcut, you can click one checkbox, then hold shift and click another checkbox to check all nodes in between.
Thats what I thought as well
Thats what I thought as well but I do not have that checkbox. Since it could be due to my older drupal 5 installation I upgraded to the latest version of Drupal 5.9 but still no checkbox next to title. Also your option to use shift is not possible.
Any ideas?
Theme?
It's possible that your theme does not support this. Try changing the admin theme to Garland, see if the checkbox appears.
Thanks for your tip but...I
Thanks for your tip but...I already use that default theme
Ok, solved! No idea what it
Ok, solved! No idea what it was but after removing my complete drupal installation and setting up a new database the checkbox appeared.
Problem is back....! It
Problem is back....! It seems like a bug or something. Maybe a conflict with a module.
I have no idea what happend between a correct working contentmanagement page and the incorrect one so I thought....maybe there is some sort of module that can check my complete drupal configuration? Otherwise I have no idea where to start looking
=-=
there is no module to check a drupal install.
the only thing you can do is disable the modules one by one to see if there is some kind of conflict.
Just disabled all modules
Just disabled all modules but still no checkbox. I am getting the feeling that is has something to do with my database. Is that possible? A checkbox which depends on the database? If so, how is it then possible that it can become sort of corrupt within a day after adding some modules?
btw...I have run update.php everytime I changed something.
=-=
running update.php after disabling modules doesn't really do much of anything.
I don't believe this is a DB problem. Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem.
Well at least thank you for
Well at least thank you for thinking along. Since I am lost as well I created a 5.9 issue. Hopefully we get somewhere....
Here is a module that works well for me
