Batch edit - addresses
July 03, 2007, 08:21:57 am
Is there a way to batch edit addresses? More specifically we'd like to take all members from one 'Group' and add one Country to their Address profile.

Thanks

Yes it is possible using task action Batch Update via Profile.

1. Create a profile with the fields that you need to edit.
2. Using Advanced Search which has CiviMember component, find the contacts that you want to edit.
3. Select the contact and then use task action "Batch Update via profile"
4. Now select the profile that you created earlier.
5. Edit and Save :)

I got the following error message when I clicked on Batch Edit via Profile:

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read resource: "CRM/Contact/Form/Task/Pickprofile.tpl" in /usr/home/insaradm/public_html/test/administrator/components/com_civicrm/civicrm/packages/Smarty/Smarty.class.php on line 1095

Any idea what this means?

what version and revision number are u using

can u also check CRM/Utils/System.php and search for 'pickprofile'. You should see this line:

                                                'pickprofile'        => 'PickProfile',

If not, add it to the array which starts at line 52 or so

Was that a Joomla path you mentioned above or Drupal? I'm using Joomla on the front-end.

that file is present in both. So adding that statement might potentially fix it.

u might want to consider upgrading to 1.7 since that has quite a few bug fixes and enhancements over 1.6

Made the array change and am still getting the error.

Is this themost current "how to' for a Joomla based CRM v1.6 to 1.7 upgrade?

If you know sql well enough you can do this using PMA / mysql shell. You might want to check the CiviCRM ERD (at http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/CiviCRM+ERD) and get a better idea of the schema. Please post your sql script back on the forum for future users :)
