Problem/Motivation

User should have an ability to execute basic operations (save, update, delete) on multiple entities.

Proposed resolution

Create actions plugins for bibliographic entities and override admin page by View with "Bulk operations form" handler.

Remaining tasks

1. Create actions plugins and configuration for bibliographic entity types
2. Create common administration views
3. Pack views configuration as optional to bibcite_entity module

Original issue:

Hi! Is there any way to delete many / all of the references as once? I imported a bunch of data, but it doesn't seem to have worked well, so I want to remove all of the reference entities and try again. There are 210 of them, so clicking through one-by-one is annoying.

Hello! You can delete all entities on the "Uninstall" (/admin/modules/uninstall) page.

When I try to use this, I get The website encountered an unexpected error. Please try again later..

Looking at the web server error log:

[Mon Feb 06 11:11:39 2017] [error] [client 132.183.156.105] Uncaught PHP Exception InvalidArgumentException: "The controller for URI "" is not callable." at [composer]/web/core/lib/Drupal/Core/Controller/ControllerResolver.php line 77

Could B&C use Node operations bulk form functionality such as the content view? (admin/content) in the
(admin/content/bibcite) reference, contributor and keyword views?

This would be great since you could give the editor the same edit functions across Content, Files, Bibliographic data.

pukku, I can't reproduce it. I've checked module on the clean site and it works fine.

Bwolf, Yes, I agree. It will be a great feature. Let's keep this issue and add to the next release roadmap.
