Possible to make mass changes?

Hello everyone,
I have a question maybe someone could help me :

If I want to make a uniform change , for example, to product description of 1000 products, is there convenient way to do it?

thank you!

A couple options:

1. Quick Updates (but likely too much trouble for what you have to do.)

2. Export the products into a spreadsheet, run a macro that adds the new info to the description, and then re-import. You can do this directly from a phpMyAdmin interface or with a tool like EZ Populate.

I've done this using phpMyAdmin in the past and it worked very nicely.

3. Run an SQL query from the SQL Patches section in the admin that would append (don't overwrite!) the new portion of text you want to every product description.

4. If this is some kind of a 'disclaimer' that you want to add to each product, you might want to consider adding the "Short Description" contribution and adding it there (which would make it easier to mass alter in the long run if needed). Just place it where you need.

5. And finally, a real down and dirty way of doing it (but very quick) would be to open the tpl_product_info.php page and then simply hand code the text you want to show in the location you want. This will make it show on EVERY product page in the location you want.

Thank you so much! Salute to you!

Also a zen cart contribution called Apsona Shop Admin works wonders for lots of products.
