Clone existing templates

[João Henrique Albuquerque]

Hi OpenWISP community, I would like to know if it is possible to generate a template based on an existing template.

What I would like to achieve is :

1. Be able to replicate an existing template from one organization to another organization;
2. Be able to create a new template based on a existing template from the same organization;

I would appreciate any feedback,

Cheers,
João

Hi Joao,

if you need just to copy the contents of an existing template into another (new) template, you can go into advanced mode of the existing template, copy the contents, go into the advanced mode of the new template, paste the contents and save.

Does this reply to your question or did you mean something different?

Hi Frederico,

I think that this method works as an alternative to achieve what I want.

I notice that when you select a template in admin/config/template/ the only option is to delete multiple templates.

Maybe this could be an enhancement for the user experience in the future?

I'll try to work on this. If I managed to make it work, I'll submit a pull request

Thanks,

João

I imagine we would need a page in which the user selects the organization (if they have access to more than one organization).

We could do this as a Google Code-In task. 

Are you interested in mentoring with us?

The first step anyway is to create a new issue in django-netjsonconfig.

 I think this is the way to go too. Multi-organization users should be able to do something like this.

I don't think I have enough web development knowledge to help to mentor a student.

I'm not sure how I would be able to help mentoring students when I don't have a good background knowledge myself.

 I Will. Working with OpenWRT for the past few years gave some ideas and improvements for django-netjsonconfig.

Cheers

I also published a GCI task for this.

Thanks!
