Efficient Product Management in Drupal with Views Bulk Operations and API
Maciej Lukianski, writing for Droptica, outlines methods for efficiently managing large product catalogs in Drupal using Views Bulk Operations (VBO) and RESTful Web Services. The article details how administrators can streamline bulk editing of product attributes by configuring administrative views, adding VBO columns, and setting up mass actions like modifying field values, withholding publication, and exporting data. Additionally, it explains how to expose product information via a RESTful API, allowing automated data exchange with business partners. By implementing these solutions, businesses with extensive product inventories can improve workflow efficiency and reduce manual data management errors.
