[support] How do you convert one node type into another?

[blogdiva at culturekitchen.com]

Good morning.

Here's a question dealing with node types.

I have had to parse out NODE TYPE ACCESS per ROLE. So my editors and  
front page contributors have access to the node type BLOG but members  
only have access to FORUM. I have done this because I could not find  
a way to queue posting to the front page based on ROLE, not on node  
type. So for example, I would have loved to give everybody access to  
the node type BLOG but only allow the roles "editors" and  
"contributors" immediate PROMOTE while putting the role "member" on  
QUEUE.

In trying to find a better way to deal with these PROMOTE issues, my  
earlier use of the node STORY muddled things further. At the  
beginning I was giving STORY to contributors --as a middle ground  
between only access to forum and having a blog. GRACK! I wish I had  
not done that.

I want to retire STORY but I can't because then everybody using those  
nodes would not have access to them. So I was wondering, can I just  
go into the DB (and in my case PATHAUTO) and change the type of STORY  
nodes into BLOG or is there anything else that I need to take into  
consideration?

Cheers,
liza
