Hi all,
is there a way to reset object names? To be more specific - I had a class C with attributes <name> <surname> and object name was set to be '<name> <surname>' ... now I need the name to be '<surname> <name>'. I've changed this in the class definition, but this applies only to new objects.
How can I reapply the name change to objects published before the change in class definition? There is a script called updatecontentobjectname.php but to me it looks like it's updating the search engine.
I hope somebody more proficient with eZ already had this problem and wrote some script ;)
Thanks!

I can say for sure that editing and saving the objects will fix it.
As for what the script does, I'll have to check. (But from memory, another script is responsible to regenerate the search index, one more aptly named)
Correction: looking at the code, it seems like a variant of the indexing script.

Yep, I agree about editing and saving, but it's a loooot of objects :)
I would try to write some ezcli script myself, but I'd rather not mess anything up, just in case ;)

The script updatecontentobjectname.php only updates the name of contentobjects. If you use the --help option of the script, you'll get a description:
<i>eZ publish search index updater. Goes trough all objects and reindexes the meta data to the search engine.</i>
But this description is wrong! I'll report this as a bug.
To update the search index, the script updatesearchindex.php is used.

So, can I use this script to update content object names?

Yes you can.
