Code to batch move products

Post by bigbangtech » Mon May 02, 2011 7:46 pm

I see that /Admin/Catalog/Browse.aspx has check-boxes to select products, and then you can move, delete, change visibility on the selected items.

I'm wondering how difficult it would be to modify /Admin/Catalog/Search.aspx to add the check-boxes and the move/delete/visibility actions to the search results?

It's a real pain when you're dealing with 100's of miscategorized items to find each one and move it. Adding batch capability to Search.aspx would be a godsend.

I was able to copy and paste some code from browse.aspx/.cs to search.aspx/.cs that allows moving items found during search. I'll post the instructions tomorrow.

Excellent.

I've been nagging Able about it ever since they added the bulk catalog features. I have the same need since I use import routines to load my store catalog.
