Have you ever found yourself in a situation when you had to change field types but Drupal did not let you do this because you already had values in the DB? And than you had to write not so arbitrary code to change field settings in the database. This module helps you do this change with a simple UI or drush command.

At the moment, module can transform:

File fields from private to public and vice versa.
Date fields from/to Datestamp and Datetime (dates are of course transformed into the right form)
by keeping all the values.

For example, if you want to make your files private from public, just run

drush fut field_name private

Module makes a backup of the field values table first, so if anything goes wrong, you can revert it back manually. Backup tables are named same as the original once with an added suffix '_field_utils_bak'. Please note that backup tables are removed when CRON is executed.

Hi @qstraza,

I have Reviewed your project application and found this module useful. But in the meanwhile, found an error which needs to be work upon.

Automated Review

[No automated test cases were found, did you consider writing Simpletests or PHPUnit tests? This is not a requirement but encouraged for professional software development.]

List of identified issues:

  1. On install of module we get following log message :

    2. Install Error
    detail_error_log_on_install.png

  2. Field name : field_date. So, on trying to convert the field_date from current field type datetime to field_type datestamp getting following error:

    3. convertion_error
    Detail conversation issue

  3. Before running the cron if module is uninstalled the backup table created with suffix ‘_field_utils_bak’ should be deleted. This should be handled or else database will have many such tables which is not of use. Thus by handling this will have efficient memory management.
  4. Typo errors : The comment should be updated for few functions such as “Implements hook hook_permission().” should be only “Implements hook_permission().”

Status: Needs work » Closed (won't fix)

Closing due to lack of activity. If you are still working on this application, you should fix all known problems and then set the status to "Needs review". (See also the project application workflow).
