Well, it wasn't much of a script, really - I just put the commands:
/dspace/bin/dspace community-filiator -s -p (handle of the dummy community)
-c (handle of a community to be deleted)
/dspace/bin/dspace community-filiator -s -p (handle of the dummy community)
-c (handle of next community to be deleted)
/dspace/bin/dspace community-filiator -s -p (handle of the dummy community)
-c (handle of next community to be deleted)
and so on, about 100 lines, in a file. We are using linux, so I just put
#!/bin/bash
at the top and made the thing executable and then ran it. I got all the
handles from grabbing the source code of the community-list web page and
parsing it. Then when all the communities to be gotten rid of were under
the dummy community, I just deleted it with the web interface.Way faster
than doing it all from the web, but still a bit of a pain.I am going to
have to make a feature request - a person really should be able to do this
all from the command line.
Cheers -
Mark
