iw.memberreplace
A Plone config panel that replaces a member by another one in content ownership, creators, local roles as well as in mutable groups.
Project Description
iw.memberreplace
By Ingeniweb
A missing feature from the members control panel. A contributor of your Plone site is replaced by someone else. This happens sometimes. If your site has thousands of items, dozens of contributors and groups, this utility will save your managers hours of digging in your site and changing settings on hundreds of content items.
Features and options:
- Replace member in ownership
- Replace member in DC Creators
- Replace member in sharings
- Replace member in groups
- Remove former member
- Dry run
- Logging all this

Requirements
Plone 3.x
Installation
We assume that you created your Zope instance with paster create -t plone3_buildout <your-instance> or something similar. And of course you're supposed to know how to set up a Plone site using zc.buildout.
With zc.buildout
Recommended practice for integration or production instances.
Open buildout.cfg with your favorite text editor and change it like indicated below:
[instance] ... eggs = ... iw.memberreplace ... zcml = ... iw.memberreplace
Run your buildout, you're done.
From Subversion repository
Recommended practice for developers.
Install as indicated in With zc.buildout above.
Checkout your preferred trunk/branch of iw.memberreplace in $BUILDOUT/src (You should have $BUILDOUT/src/iw.memberreplace/... after this). See the Project home pages section for the repository URL.
Then:
$ cd $BUILDOUT/src/iw.memberreplace $ python setup.py develop
Open buildout.cfg with your favorite text editor and change it like indicated below:
[buildout] ... develop = src/iw.memberreplace
Run your buildout, you're done. Your Subversion working copy of iw.memberreplace should take over the egg.
