how to batch edit children?

Is there a way or a to switch
the "Show in menu" on/off
and the "Container" Y/N
for all the child documents
inside a Container Document?

I got about 300 docs that I wanna edit...I’m nervous...

I think I’ve read about it somewhere...just can’t remember ( i know that’s not very helpful). Am not sure managermanager can help out..or changing some value in the database...But don’t take my word for it yet...Wait for a more appropriate answer Will post here if I find something

cheers/k

You’re probably best off with using phpMyAdmin (or some other mysql client) and running a query like this:

and likewise for the isfolder field.

The hidemenu field works in the opposite way you would think from the check box’s lable "Show in Menu"; 1 will hide the menu, 0 will show it.

kongondo, Susan thanks for the swift responses.

phpMyAdmin is a completely separate piece of software to MODx so you’ll have to go www.phpmyadmin.net to grab yourself a copy.

OR it might be already installed in your web server. However, If you are doing this locally, and using a product like WAMP, XAMPP or some equivalent, then it should already be installed in your local host.

Remember to backup everything, database especially, before you make any changes to your database

Thanks I’m just gonna take a coffee break
Read, drink coffee, read some more
