Is there a method to bulk move users into groups and resources into resource groups?

I have a site with approx 3,000 resources in 10 or so different resource groups, and nearly 4,000 users in about 15 different user groups. [messy!]

The site owner wants to simplify things down to 2 user groups and 2 resource groups.

Is there any way do 'bulk' move things around other than dragging & dropping each resource and/or user from group to group?

I am also still looking for a way to move them resources in batch.
But for users in batch, I use

//[[!joinUsersToGroup? &group=`yourNewGroup`]]
 
if ($collection = $modx->getCollection('modUser')){
    foreach ($collection as $user){
        $user->joingroup($group,'Member');
    } 
}

I am sure it is terribly easy to tweak it to work from usergroup to usergroup

Unfortunately, this is not something that an end user/administrator can implement. sad

Oh, it wasn't clear that you wanted to the end user to handle this change. As far as I know there are no tools to make these bulk structural changes. I suppose Batcher could be modified to handle this for the resource groups part. On the user groups, I think merging the groups via script would be the most efficient approach. If they wish to reassign though, it's going to be a pain.

Yea, I thought that would be the answer [I went through the Extras directory pretty extensively] with this many users, it's literally going to take them days to move stuff around.

if it is a one time thing,
why can't some snippets with something like that from donshakespeare do the stuff?
If you know the conditions, which users to which group and which resources to which resource-group, put that custom-snippet like that just onto a resource and call that resource.

If you want to have it a bit more comfortable and flexible, create a little form, which lets you set the conditions.

I was thinking this exactly. If your client can tell you what user and resource groups get merged this would be a relatively fast script to write and execute. Origin resource group ->new destination resource group

For the ones that found this page and are needing the snippet to batch-update Resources to resourcegroups, I just leave this here

:

<?php
/*	
	This snippet updates all resources to join the given resourceGroup
	In my example "AllDocs", change this value to use your own resourceGroup
	
	Usage: [[!resourceGroupBatcher]]
	
*/
	
if ($collection = $modx->getCollection('modResource')){
    foreach ($collection as $resource){
        $resource->joinGroup('AllDocs');
		$resource->save();
		echo $resource->get('id').' updated<br/>';
    } 
}
?>
