Hello,

I downloaded and installed the copy/move extension according to the  
instructions at [http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/](http://darcs.bigchieflabs.com/radiant/extensions/)  
copy\_move/rdoc/,

I tried in 0.6.2 and 0.6.3 and in neither case can I see the copy/  
move option in the admin UI.

The extension shows as installed in the extensions UI

But according to the instruction i’m expecting some sort of copy  
button by the add child, all I see is Add Child, Remove and Reorder  
in my case.

If you have the reorder and copy/move extension both installed one  
will override the others view, so you will have to combine the  
contents of the\_node.rhtml files - to something like this:

```
   <td class="duplicate-child"><%= link_to image('copy-

```

move’, :alt =\> ‘CopyMove’), page\_copy\_move\_url(:id =\> page) %\>

\<%= page.children.empty? ? ‘’ : link\_to  
(image(‘reorder’, :alt =\> ‘reorder children’),  
page\_reorder\_children\_url(:id =\> page)) %\>

hey there,  
Just installed it as well in 0.6.3 - it worked.

Did you run the rake task as per the instructions? Just checking.  
Im just wondering if the copy-move.png image did not get copied to your  
“public/image/admin” directory somehow.  
You could check if the image is there - or maybe do a “view source” to  
see  
if the extension code is at least trying to render the image in your  
page  
list view.

Exactly. Extensions can still overwrite each other’s changes, but since  
the level of control is more granular, it’s harder to break.

This is the kind of things that must be addressed in the future, a way  
for Radiant extensions to tweak the admin UI without overwriting each  
other.

```
Is this the objective of the "facets" branch (+ "shards" extension) 

```

?
