Hi. Is there anyone on the list who has got a successful installation of the copy\_move extension with the latest radiant release? I installed it without problems with SVN from the author web site, and according the other instructions set forth in the readme file, but no buttons showed up on the admin page interface–as I would have expected. Is there something I’ve to take attention at or is this a known issue? Many thanks in advance for your assistance on this matter. ---

I got the code from the SVN repository and used the following rake command to install: sudo rake development radiant:extensions:copy\_move:install Did your terminal window give you any errors when running rake? Maybe the /public/images/admin/ directory where the images are copied to was not writable by the server? - Dave ---

One thing I did notice was that copying a page with attached files (via the page\_attachments extension) caused the new page to lose the attachments. I assumed this was just how CopyMove was built and not a 0.6.6 bug, as I had never used CopyMove before. - Dave ---

Well actually since all page attachments associate with a page’s id, copying a page would include a new page id, therefore unattached files. It kind of sucks, but at the same I don’t think its a critical feature to have for neither page attachments or copy/move. David P. wrote: > David P. wrote: > > > Luigi R. wrote: > > > > > Hi.

Yes, CopyMove copies just the page attributes and no other attributes or tables created by other extensions. I suggest you to use the git repository ([GitHub - gravityblast/radiant-copy-move: It's an extension for Radiant CMS. It allows for a page to be copied (or moved) under a new parent.](http://github.com/pilu/radiant-copy-move/)) because my svn repo is no longer updated. Luigi does it work now or you still have problems? – Andrea F. [http://gravityblast.com](http://gravityblast.com) - [http://nimboo.net](http://nimboo.net) ---

There’s no reason CopyMove should account for data or files attached with another extension (and in this case, you’d have to duplicate the files in the file structure as well). > I suggest you to use the git repository > ([GitHub - gravityblast/radiant-copy-move: It's an extension for Radiant CMS.

I didn’t realize GitHub had a download feature until now. Very nice! - Dave ---

I used the git repository code, installed it, changed the owner to “nobody” to the extension directory, and got no warning/error message from the console or the log file. Still no luck … ☹ Simply the code is missing from the admin interface page. I’m using shards 0.1, and it is loaded as first extension. ---

Yes: it means “Yes, I still have problems …” ☹ ---

David, thank you! This was the trick … I installed the latest shards from the trunk, and restarted the web server. Now this extension is working fine. -L
