Copy pages

Todd_McGrath · February 26, 2007, 9:02pm

Hi,

Does anyone have a recommendation for copying existing pages from one
parent to
another?

I’m doing it against the database directly (sql, export, import), but
I’m hoping
for a more efficient way.

Todd,

Do you want to copy them or just move them? Moving them is fairly
trivial with script/console.

Todd,

Yes, I asked John about it, and TextDrive is having issues with the
server. (radiantcms.org)

There’s not a trivial way to do a deep-copy of a page, but I’ll outline
the process for you.

Open script/console production (assuming you’re running in production
mode-- I hope)
Use Page.find to get the original page that you intend to copy.
Clone the original page (original.clone).
Assign the parent or parent_id of the cloned page.
Iterate through all the page parts of the original page, clone them,
and add them as parts to the cloned page.
Save everything.
