I am looking to create a listing of nodes using Views, and be able to edit attributes on those nodes directly via checkboxes. A simple example for my magazine site would be:
Views shows the Editor a list of articles (nodes). Each node has a checkbox "Print version, Yes or No".
The Print Version checkbox would be part of the Create Article node creation form, and the views listing would show the current status of that checkbox for each node as a checked check box. A radio button would work too.
Changes to the checkboxes in the Views listing need change the attributes of the respective Article nodes. This can happen as a form submit, or AHAH / JQuery would be fine as well.
Tried looking on the Forums for this, but to be honest it seems so advanced and so specific, I am not sure how to find it. For me, anyway.
Any suggestions or ideas are GREATLY appreciated!
Cheers,
Antonio

Views Bulk Operations module looks close
OK... so the VBS module ( http://drupal.org/project/views_bulk_operations ) looks like it comes close to what I want this to do. It would work... only thing is, I would like the checkboxes to be pre-ticked if the status of an article was 'yes'. Otherwise Editors would likely have to do two runs... one to add articles to the upcoming Print Edition, and another to remove the ones they no longer want. Live AJAXy checkboxes would be much more efficient / desirable.
Still looking...
