Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/21632 Project: Drupal Version: cvs Component: node system Category: feature requests Priority: normal Assigned to: puregin Reported by: puregin Updated by: puregin Status: patch Attachment: http://drupal.org/files/issues/node_copy_patch (4.06 KB) The purpose of this patch is to enable a copy operation on nodes. The semantics of this are: given a node, a copy is saved. Only the title is changed (and of course the node will have new nid). Hence, for example, copies of book pages are siblings of the original. Q. Are there any situations where having a copy of a node will mess up a compound/structure? Q. Should anything else be modfied (created/changed dates, ...)? Could you please review carefully - I'm pretty new to this code! Please pay special attention to: - permission checks - I'm not clear on the semantics of these - generation of watchdog entries / messages The patch makes the following changes: 1. Adds a function node_copy(&$node), based on node_submit. This accepts a node or node array, and checks if the current user has view permissions and create permissions. If so, it creates a title "(Copy of node ".$node->nid.") ". $node->title It then clears the node's nid, and submits to node_save(), which creates a new node. Appropriate messages are generated to indicate success or reasons for failure. 2. Adds an item to the $items[] array in node_menu after line 710 to allow adding copying a node '$nid' by by "node/$nid/copy". This tries to follow the way "node/$nid/delete" is handled. 3. Adds an operation 'copy' => array(t('Copy the selected posts'), ''), (at line 748) to the operations array in function node_admin_nodes() to allow mass copying of nodes (a la mass deletion of nodes). Implements this operation. 4. Adds a case in function node_page() to take care of the copy operation. puregin
