Blueprints with a ChannelManagerEventListener for copying content (timeout)

[koev]

Hi,

I am using a blueprint for a new-subsite creation. The new site should start with the same content (copies) from another site. I wrote a ChannelManagerEventListener which copies the correspondent content. Unfortunately sometimes this takes quite long and the channel manager complains, that the connection to the server is lost.

Putting the content into a query template makes it fast, but I always want to base a new client on the content of another client.

I am using

JcrUtils.copy(session, contentRoot, destPath);

but why is it that slow? I had the same experience with Groovy update scripts. What would be an alternative?

It is slow most likely because it will just have to copy a lot of
content (including creating versions already)

Also copying the content in this way might result in that you still
need to modify the content afterwards (for example translation ids)

OK,

how can I copy documents and instantly generate new translationids? Are there any helper methods like the JcrUtils.copy() ?

When copying a folder / document via the /console there is the option
to 'create new translation ids'. I am not sure whether this is some
reusable utility. Someone else might chime in here. Writing it
yourself is not complex though (iterate through all copied nodes and
make sure that all folders get a new translation id as well as all
document variants below a handle (note that the variants below a
handle all need to get the same translation id). I am not sure if
someone else built a utility for this. Also, I am not sure whether
there is a folder copy workflow that can do this for you. Hopefully
someone else can chime in here

Hi,
thanks, I ll try doing that. I need to do it in a ChannelManagerEventListener so I ll have to do it programatically.
Maybe you know the class which is using the Console for the copying so that I can look into that code?

I guess org.hippoecm.frontend.plugins.console.menu.copy.CopyDialog shows the key to success ;)

Sounds like it :-)

I unfortunately cannot really confirm it because I never looked at that code

Looks good but it generates a new translation:id for each node under a handle.

I see the copy dialog in the cms with 'create new translation ids'
gives every variant below a handle its own translation id. This is a
bug. Every variant below a handle should have the same translation id.

Hi,

There's a community forge plugin which uses the same JcrUtils
internally, but cares of the translation id generations:
- http://folderctxmenus.forge.onehippo.org/index.html#Programmatic_Folder_Copy_and_Move

If you want to copy a folder with changing the translation ids
(keeping the same translation ids under the same handle node), you
might want to give it a try.
