Multiple Products (Copy, Move, Delete)

Ok, I have never used PHPMyAdmin and tried to sign in to it but couldn't.. not realizing I had to use the original password set by the company that put up my site. I got in. I started clicking around in PHPMyAdmin, loaded my Database. I tried reinstalling the SQL file from the zip and got the error that MoveCopyDelete already existed. I looked for it, found it and noticed that in the "Language Key" column it says "BOX_CATALOG_MULTICOPY".
This lead me to go back to my zcadmin and look under the "Catalog" tab and guess what....there it is.
I've been looking under the "Tools" tab for this the entire time. I clicked on it and it opened.
Now to see if it works.

It seems to be working. I am moving a few thousand items from one category to different categories throughout my site. So far I've been getting an Error (Timed Out) when I was trying to move hundreds at a time. I got up to 50 items without a problem then started getting the time out error with just a few items.
I found that I could just reload the page and click on "resubmit info" (something like that) and it would continue with the process and move the items. I have not needed to do more than 50 items with this new "bypass" I am using of reloading the page but just want you to know that time out error is there.
So far moving items is the only need I have for this mod at the moment. I'll update if anything else comes up.
I want to thank everyone that responded and made suggestions to getting this resolved.
awesome. :laugh:

HELP I cannot remember where to access this move function

Thanks for the update that this is helping you ... :smile:

Many thanks for producing this.
Everything works fine ... except ... it only ever copies (using duplicate option) just one product!
the search aspect finds, say, 10 products.
they all have their tick box checked.
then only one product is copied to another category.

i've tried switching off copying attirbutes etc, makes no difference.
any thoughts?

Absolutely fantastic, saved me ages deleting products one by one.

Many thanks.

PHP Code:

if (($keywords == '') && ($category_id == '') && ($manufacturer_id == '') && ($min_price == '') && ($max_price == '') && ($min_msrp == '') && ($max_msrp == '') && ($product_quantity == '')) { 


---

$min_msrp and $max_msrp are not defined anywhere.

As I use this regularly, I hope to make this suitable for public consumption and get it into core, sometime this year, maybe.
1) Why was it never done before?
2) Has anything else been done behind the scenes to add to what is here/available?

Just wondering, but has this been updated/are plans to update for 1.5.5/1.5.6?
