Template Tags - easy way to modify multiple templates at once

[DV-JF]

Hi,

maybe I'm blind or I'm missing something ? What I'm asking myself: Is there a simple way to tag multiple templates in one step.

At the moment I'm restructuring a big ProcessWire site and want to tag all templates in order to get a better overview. Therefore I'd have to edit every single template. Instead it would be nice to select multiple templates and give them a tag them in one step.

EDIT: I'm using ProcessWire 3.0.148 © 2020

Many thanks in advance for any hints... DV-JF alias Jens.

as far as I can tell Templates do not support tagging in the same way as the fields, there is no "manage tags" button, and no executeTags() method in ProcessTemplate.

You can use the API:

$tpl = $templates->get('service');
$tpl->tags = "foo bar something else";
$tpl->save();

or for multiple templates, just create an array with tpl-names, and do a foreach()

...or you can use this small module that (with a lot of nicked code from ProcessField) adds the functionality to the Template list:

Best try it out on a copy of the site though, I haven't tested it much yet. Anyway...have fun ?

(I'm soon going to use this a lot myself to clean up a few really complex sites...)

Hey,

thank you for the answers and hints. I've solved the problem using "Adminer" from "TracyDebugger". @BitPoet Special thank goes to you ?, I'll have a closer look on your module soon and will test it for sure!
