Do you have heathen nodes?  Convert them!  Today we bring to you the gospel of Views Bulk Operations and Node Convert, assisted by Improved Admin Listing, and of course Views…

For the videophiles here’s a youtube for the proess

  1. Download and install the mods
  2. Design your conversion template – each field and taxonomy must be either mapped, appended to the body of the new node, or dropped
  3. Edit the “Improved Listing” view
  4. Click on the gear Under  “Style” next to “Views Bulk Operations”
  5. Add the new template that you just created
  6. Now go to admin/content/node/improved (the nice view created by Improved Admin and select the nodes you want to convert
  7. Click through to watch the heathen nodes line up into a happy batch API queue… no Spanish Inquisition here… it’s all happy nodes & clean data!
