Work flow enhancements

Hi, because I am currently setting up an english translation of our company homepage and have to handle many, many categories and articles I think the workflow of FlexiContent can be enhanced. Here are some ideas:
- Mass assignment of articles: Sometimes articles are the same for both languages but have to be assigned to different catgories. A nice feature, compareable to the mass copy feature, would be the mass assignment of a group of articles to other categories.
- Copying of categories (and the assignments of the articles): This would be even cooler. It would allow to copy complex article/category structures and therefor setting up new site translations.

Hi,

To work with native mutli-lingual of Joomla this feature is really needed.

When Flexicontent is not installed on a Joomla 2.5, there is in footer of the management of menus, categories and articles a area to perform bulk operations.

In this area you can copy or move a selected set, assign them to other languages ​​or change their access level.

Regards.

1. FLEXIcontent has batch operation only for setting same state too many items, (ok standard joomla has this too but FLEXIcontent has more states thus more flexible workflow)

2. Can

a) bulk copy (to a different categories) while giving more options than standard Joomla,

b) move items (to a different categories) while giving more options than standard Joomla,

c) copy to a different language while duplicating original content (aka translate) and also auto-translate is implemented but not enabled because we need to add free translator

MISSING: currently the copy/move operation cannot set same language to many items

but we can just enable the language selector for the move operation and we are done ...

maybe we need to call the task button :
copy / move - reassign

something else that standard Joomla article can do in Bulk???

Hi,

Excuse me for the late reply.

You are right to copy articles, I did not notice the copy button for items.

Missing copy categories and their associations with languages. We have a site that contains a product catalog managed by FLEXIcontent, it is prepared for translation, there are more than fifty categories to duplicate.
