I was wondering if there is a quick way to clone a page in Radiant or if this is a planned feature? It would be nice to have a “clone” button next to the “add child” and “remove” buttons. In the site that I’m building with Radiant I have a lot of parts per page and I fnd myself doing the same thing over and over per page. (I know I can probably go fudge with the DB). So either the cloning button or maybe the concept of a template might be the way to go. So I pick a layout and that also applies a template to the current page, e.g. add the part tabs and some canned HTML to them. So far I’m having a great time using Radiant, really straightforward CMS. The only issues I’ve had as a newbie where with the whole images/assets location (I was just lazy and created a subdir under the images directory for my site’s stuff) and the other thing that I spent some time (all of 10 minutes) figuring out was how to get my CSS tab navigation working with the radius navigation tag. Keep up the good work! I was overwhelmed by the other CMS packages out there. Radiant really shines in terms of simplicity. ---

It’s not on the list of things for the immediate future, but I would not be opposed to incorporating this feature if someone came up with a clean implementation for it (with tests, of course!). > In the site that I’m building > with Radiant I have a lot of parts per page and I fnd myself doing the > same thing over and over per page.
