Re-publish all listings

Hi
I am using Basic Realty and need to Re-Publish all listings
The reason for this is that I have added the Permalink plugin and created a permalink field but this is only automatically populated when I save the record. I currently have 305 property listings and I need to resave each one to get the Permalink field populated. If there was a feature to re-publish all listings then this would save me a lot of time.
Now I used to use (and still do on some sites) Realty Manager and this has an option under Setup Options to "Re-Publish all listings" - I can't seem to find this option on CMSB / Basic Realty but wondered if there was an easy way to achieve this.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Andy,
Unfortunately there's no easy way to automatically generate permalinks for pre-existing records.
Probably the quickest way to do it manually would be to just middle-click "modify" on each record to open up a new browser tab, and then after you've opened up 10+ tabs go back and click save on each one. At 2-3 seconds each it will take about 10-15 min.
Hope that helps!

Hi Dave
That is a shame because my client is importing properties via an XML feed also and we would need to update these also as and when they are imported.
I was hoping you would have something which I could run after every XML import they run.
Is this something you could custom code for me?

Hi Andy,
Yea we could custom code it and maybe write a function that could be called by your import script. Do you want to email me direct with some more details at dave@interactivetools.com? Thanks!
