Is there a way to rename multiple Topics at the same time ? Any kind of solution is welcome.

Discussion and Answer

Not with the TWiki GUI at the moment. You could get involved and contribute this functionality if you are a developer. Or you could hire a TWiki consultant to do that for you.

You could rename topics at the file level. For every twiki/data/Someweb/SomeTopic.txt there is a twiki/data/Someweb/SomeTopic.txt,v history file and potentially a twiki/pub/Someweb/SomeTopic/ file attachment directory that needs to be renamed in pair. The file level rename does not catch/fix backlinks though. It also does not catch plugin data that is topic specific, typically stored below twiki/working/work_areas/.

Thank you Peter, please do let me know when a solution is available to solve this problem, more likely a plugin would be the best way.

Open source is about taking and contributing back. Please do not just free-ride on open source.

Closing this question after more than 30 days of inactivity. Feel free to reopen if needed. Consider engaging one of the TWiki consultants if you need timely help. We invite you to get involved with the community, it is more likely you get community support if you support the open source project!
