Anyone know of a mod that updates products in groups?

hello,

I have a lot or products and category changes to make but dont want to do it manually. Does anyone know of a preexisting module that will allow you to move products and categories in groups.

ie.. Select via radio button or some other means all the products you would like to move then select the category you want to move them to and then all products selected are moved to the category your specified.

To Zen Cart Kim, Dr. Byte, Linda and others I forgot
If there isn't a mod that does this, I would like to put in my formal request for that feature to be added into future zencarts. I'm sure everyone could appreciate that feature.

If this sounds like a good idea to other zenners pls comment your approval.

Thank you,

Avel

I can understand why you wouldn't want to do it via the Admin which tends to focus on one product at a time. But there isn't really anything that works as you describe.

The closest is EasyPopulate which I often use for multiple updates such as you describe.

The other alternative is to learn some SQL and create your own database update routines (which is huge fun, but does require some technical skill and a lot of care).

Your right I could do the mySql way which I can do but so my items in the database to update.
