How to run plugin on all existing resources

I have written a plugin that fires on the event "OnFormDocSave". It inserts something into introtext based on other fields - it's working as it should on all new resources and the ones I edit in the manager.

My question is: How do I run this plugin on all existing resources in the site, without having to manually open and save every single one?

Working on Revo 2.2.14

There's no easy way to do that.

I would move the code into a utility snippet:

$resources = $modx->getCollection('modResource');
$count = 0;
foreach ($resources as $resource) {
    
    /* Your code here */

    if ($doc->save()) {
       $count++;
    }
}

return '<h3>Finished! -- Updated ' . $count . 'resources.</h3>';
