[old wish] Switch Categories?

Postby Logfather » Mon Jul 26, 2010 2:30 pm

I don't want to be a nag but as PivotX is getting completer and better I was just wondering if anybody ever got to make it so that you can 'transfer' all entries belonging to one category, to another? I know most of us won't do this often but as time goes on sites (and blogs specifically) evolve and I want to dump some categories or put some together for example...

I think Hans' pivotx-tools.php script does just that: http://pivot-weblog.svn.sourceforge.net ... p?view=log

(if not, let me know, because i think we should add that if it's missing)

Ah yes I remember Pivot Tools. Great stuff! But this one doesn't change categories, no sure if we could do that with 1.4 Dreadwind... can't remember honestly. Would love for this functionality but it isn't on the list (yet) as you can see here: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=836&hilit=pivotx+tools&start=10

Switching entries from one category to another or just simply RENAMING categories shouldn't be super complicated right? *I hopes*

FYI: Changing categories for entries is now possible in the PivotX Tools extension.

Thanks! I will check this out later today and report back. Does it also allow to change Category names or is that unnecessary now that we can switch?

The extension just changes (the entries) from one category to another. It's up to you to create any new categories used in the change.
