Copy content from one site to another site in same dotCMS instance

[Ryan O'Dell]

I would like to copy content between sites within the same dotCMS instance.

Site A and Site B.

I need to maintain persistence in Site A and Site B.

Site B was originally a copy of Site A.

I would like to copy the content from Site A to Site B from time to time, overwriting if any changes made to the copied content in Site B.

Site A is effectively a master for some content.

Site B can have it's own additional content, but anything that was copied from Site A would be able to be reset in the next copy from Site A.

I've tried using bundles, but since the Identifiers refer back to Site A, it doesn't update Site B at all.

I've tried setting up a Push Publishing target to Site B (using the direct URL for Site B), but that gets caught in some kind of loop, it doesn't finish.

Does anybody know of a way to copy content between sites in the same dotCMS instance?  (I appreciate it might mean editing the downloaded bundle).

Thanks,

Ryan

Not sure about the override rules you mentioned, but something I used to is:

1) run copy action over the content to create a copy contentlet

2) move the copied contentlet (again with wf action) to another site (you can type //sitename/mypath)

It will just move the copied content to the other site, but not will consider merges or similar

Best,
