I've got a directory listing site where entries show the "last updated" (node->changed) date, to give users confidence that they are viewing current information.

I'd like node authors/editors to have an "everything is still up to date" button which they could press to update the node->changed date to current

currently they have to edit > submit, even though nothing else needs to be altered.

is this possible?
if i (could i?) had something change that one "changed" field in the node table in the database, would that affect anything else?

thanks,
david

Hi David,

your post is quite old, but may I ask, if you found a solution for that?

Views Bulk Operations module is a good way to do that.
You can make a form like you see I drupal content admin pages and have a Save button that updates the date to current system date.

All nodes will be taken through node API so any modules that trigger on 'update' op will will be fired. Not harmful in most cases but can't believe 2012 year. Hi Mayans!
