How to change the section of a record

Hello mozaffar,
Good point ;) There should be a mass change or a batch tool for this purpose. Unfortunately, the backend has only "copy", there is no "move" for records.

Questions

Do you have to change a lot of records? Or just a few? The type will not change?

Suggestions / Options

A.) In your NEW Section, allow to submit the same type. Allow Section Root submission. In frontend, edit the record(s) and Save again. Most likely it should assign the records to your NEW section. (not sure, never tried it!)

B.) Maybe better and cleaner to edit the Database tables directly...
In Backend your Sections have a unique ID! See your records in DB table YourPreFix_js_res_record. See column section_id. Change the number to your NEW section ID.

For many records use PHPmyAdmin, DB Replacer by NoNumber.nl or something like MijoSQL by MiwiSoft.com for minor changes. My personal favorite is DB Replacer, because it guides you through the process, very intuitive and free version is enough.

As always, make a backup first! ;)

Ohhhh;

Thanks but I think this is not applicable for me because this is for lots of records and it should be done always not for one time. Anyway thanks for your friednly reply.

So I think I have to change my procedure and try other ways.

mozaffar it should be done always not for one time

I am curious... why is this?

Maybe a feature for Cobalt 9 to move articles from one section to another. Right now thereis no UI to do that. Right now it is possible to change it only manualy altering DB records. And yet it is not best and very relayble way. Because it might lead to errors. For example you have notification for a article which no longer exists in particular section.
