I'm looking to build a Views Bulk Operations view that will allow me to update role expiry dates en mass. Has anyone already done this? If I don't hear back real quick, I'll put it together myself. I'm guessing the easiest way is to create a VBO view makes a Role Expire API call based on the UIDs that the view exposes.

Oh, and when I've got this working, I'll post the VBO code snippet here.

So, I ended up contracting out @mikey_p to write an add-on module that allows you to create pre-configured "extensions" for each user role (ie, extend user role X one month, extend user role Y 12 months). These extensions are then exposed to VBO.

What's great about this approach is that you can create a view with a filter to find users who meet flexible filter criteria - and then run a number of different actions on those records. For example, you could use the same VBO view to send them an email letting them know that you are extending their role - and then go through and extend it, all from the same screen.

Mikey_p's got the module on his public svn server right now. If you want to see it, give him a shout on DO. He also has plans to see if bdziewierz is interested in incorporating his code as a patch - but that's for those two to figure out.

Cheers,
Sean
