Best practice for editing multiple nodes on a page
I am working on a bug in the acidfree module. http://drupal.org/node/59439 I have tracked down the issue to a conflict between the path.module the way acidfree edits multiple images at once. Acidfree calls node_load for many images in an album to create a page that allows the user to move/rename/delete many items at once. The problem is that when hook_nodeapi is called it ends up creating a form that does not save the same a single node. Is there a normal/approved/easy method for editing multiple nodes on a page? Any thoughts would be appreciated. I can think of several ways to patch the problem, but I would prefer to submit a 'correct' fix. Thanks- Scott White (wpd) White Paper Designs
Taxonomy_multi_edit does this ... We do need a bulk editing module though On 4/28/06 9:34 PM, "Scott White" <webdesign@whitepaperdesigns.com> wrote:

This is actually something that would help for blog admnistration tasks. Movable Type offers batch editing of titles/categories/post-dates in a screen like that, and it could be used to good effect in some sort of 'drupal for bloggers' package... --Jeff -----Original Message----- From: Moshe Weitzman [mailto:weitzman@tejasa.com] Sent: Friday, April 28, 2006 8:44 PM To: development@drupal.org Subject: Re: [development] Best practice for editing multiple nodes on a page Taxonomy_multi_edit does this ...

Scott, I found myself wanting to edit multiple nodes at once. But not exactly the way you are. Rather, I wanted to edit taxonomy terms and workflow states for multiple nodes. The code may be of interest to some of you. Its in my sandbox here <http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/sandbox/yogadex/modules/multiedit/> Anyone interested should read more about it here <http://dave-cohen.com/node/1044> (which includes a discussion of why I do not plan to move this code from my sandbox into contrib). -Dave On Fri, 28 Apr 2006 20:34:16 -0500, "Scott White" <webdesign@whitepaperdesigns.com> said:
