Component body
This module is still a WIP - made for a specific system. Many assumptions are made on the modules enabled - this will be fixed/generalized.
Overview
Mass Taxonomy Merge is made to be a tool for doing a one-time mass update of taxonomy in a system with large amounts of content. Other modules that exist, while very effective, take considerable amounts of time to run in systems with large amounts of content. Mass Taxonomy Merge allows the user to upload a simple CSV file with a list of terms to merge from and merge in to.
There is no user interface for manipulation of taxonomy terms with this module. This is a possible feature request far down the line, but if you are looking for a user interface I strongly suggest using one of the existing modules.
Features
Creation of a simple CSV files allows for mass managing of taxonomy terms with options to:
- Create terms
- Merge existing terms
- Delete terms
Requirements
None.
Known problems
- Acts on the database as opposed to loading every entity to increase speed - meaning hooks will be necessary to use if you have any custom code affecting taxonomy.
