Batch assign category to multiple articles

My categories are all messed up after importing from MT. For example I can’t even click the category in the admin list to edit the category name/title/parent, there’s nothing there to click!

Either I spend hours/days manually changing categories for each article or someone thinks a plugin that does this is usefull enough for them to write it. ;o)

I know I should be figuring out how to do this specific function with sql, phpmyadmin rather manually, but I really think a plugin would prove wide use.

I mean if someone adds a new category to their site they might want to assign it to a bunch of articles. I’ve developed about 3 txp sites, all differing in type, and I always needed this function.

Well, for now I’ll be messing with phpmyadmin to see if I can sql search replace my categories back to their normal state. But I doubt that will go well as I’m very novice in sql.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Batch assign category to multiple articles

The development version of TXP (will be 4.0.4) already has this option.
