Hi all,

Firstly thank you to Andrea F. for this great extension.

Is it possible to easily set copied or moved pages to have a status  
of Draft, despite the original pages setting?

Could I change this:

```
 new_page = Page.create(
   :title => new_title, :slug => new_slug, :breadcrumb =>

```

new\_title, :class\_name =\> page.class\_name,  
:status\_id =\> page.status\_id, :parent\_id =\>  
new\_parent.id, :layout\_id =\> page.layout\_id  
)

to something like:

```
   :status_id => 1

```

?

I don’t have access to a test server at the mo, or much time, so  
thanks for any advice.

Cheers

Not yet…but I can add another menu to choose the new page status…  
something like:

- The same
- Hidden
- …

…and if you are copying the whole tree of a page? you need to apply  
the selected status  
to all page in the tree?

That would be fantastic. =)

Mmm, I hadn’t thought about that, so whatever is easiest 😉 -but that  
would make sense.
