I did a silly thing on my current drupal project. I authoured all the new content (setting up menus and basic pages) as Administrator. Then when the Editor of the site went to edit them she couldn’t, as no-one gets to mess with the Admin’s work.
So I was faced with three options:
- Go through page by page changing the named authour on each one from ‘Admin’ to ‘editor’
- Do something in sql (please don’t make me do this!)
- Find a module from someone clever to do it.
Luckily there is a module called ‘Node Adoption’ (on Drupalmodules.com) which does exactly this – lets you moves everything authoured as one user onto that of another. 5 minutes, job done…
