Massive Move: Bulk Moving Resources in Evolution CMS

The Massive Move note introduced a manager-side helper for bulk-moving resources in Evolution CMS. The original post included a long class example and linked back to an older MODX forums discussion, which makes sense: this was a practical tool for teams maintaining large trees, not a theoretical pattern.

What the tool solved

• moving many resources at once between folders
• working with parent selection in a more efficient way
• keeping the content tree manageable during structural cleanup
• clearing cache after large structural changes

Why these tools mattered

Older Evo projects often accumulated large editorial trees but still relied on manager actions designed for smaller sites. Small utilities like Massive Move filled that gap. They were less about adding features and more about removing friction for the people actually maintaining content.

That is why this belongs in the ecosystem story: the Evo world was shaped not only by core releases, but by small focused tools that made real content operations survivable.
