Just to add my 2 cents, along the same lines. I believe Richard Rodger's 2004 code of community-filiator is still working strong, I used it today on a 5.x instance.
Communities are related through parent/child relationships. So, to move things around, first you have to break a parent-child relationship, followed by creating a new parent child relationship. So, so you have the following hierarchy A <-> L <-> Y And wanted to make Y a child of A, you would have to break L<->Y, and then set A<->Y community-filiator --remove --parent L --child Y community-filiator --set --parent A --child Y In the real use, don't use the letter A, L, Y, but instead the handle for each: --parent 12345/2233 --child 12345/5566 and so on. I could see this functionality making its way into the user interface. (There's currently an on-going discussion planned for OR2015 next week, on the future of UI's). And the full command line help. /dspace/bin/dspace community-filiator --help usage: CommunityFiliator -c,--child <arg> child community (handle or databaseID) -h,--help help -p,--parent <arg> parent community (handle or database ID) -r,--remove remove a parent/child relationship -s,--set set a parent/child relationship establish a relationship: CommunityFiliator -s -p parentID -c childID remove a relationship: CommunityFiliator -r -p parentID -c childID ________________ Peter Dietz Longsight www.longsight.com pe...@longsight.com p: 740-599-5005 x809 On Thu, Jun 4, 2015 at 7:58 PM, Mary Weppler-Selear < mweppler-sel...@ucmerced.edu> wrote: > I realized you can’t see the screenshots in this posting - sorry!
