copy page?

[Tom Scytale]

Hi

I was looking for a way to copy a page. I don't see any way to do it via the admin interface (tho I am missing a handful of buttons due to a minor incompatibility with the version of grappelli i'm running).

I see a method Page.objects.create_copy() in 1.0.99 but it seems to have been removed in newer versions. 

I successfully copied a page by pasting the code from that method into the django shell.

Is the facility for copy a page really missing or am I being dumb?

thanks

It is recommended that you use Django's built-in admin save-as
functionality [1], however this is somewhat broken when it comes to
uploaded files etc [2,3,4], but works for simple cases. I'll be
working on a solution for this for a couple of projects in the coming
week or two.

how do I use that? - It'll have to be something like this, right?

    from feincms.module.page.admin import PageAdmin

    from feincms.module.page.models import Page

    from django.contrib import admin

    class MyPageAdmin(PageAdmin):

            save_as = True

    admin.site.unregister(Page)

    admin.site.register(Page, MyPageAdmin)

And this will have to go into admin.py of some app that is listed in INSTALLED_APPS after feincms, right?

(I won't have the opportunity to try this for a few days but I'd like to check this is the right general direction)

Hi,

found a pretty easy way of doing this, that actually works:

in models.py

def duplicate_page(modeladmin, request, queryset):
    from feincms.utils import copy_model_instance


    for obj in queryset:
        copy = copy_model_instance(obj)
        copy.slug = 'copy-of-' + copy.slug
        copy.title = 'Copy of ' + copy.title
        copy.save()
        copy.copy_content_from(obj)


duplicate_page.short_description = "Duplicate all selected items"
PageAdmin.actions = [duplicate_page]

Best,

Steffen
