I’ve created a simple extension that adds a “Duplicate” button to the Edit form.  Right now it uses JS to redirect the page so you’ll nee JS to use it.

EDIT:
This extension ‘duplicated’ (;-)) the cloner extension and has since been retired and it’s jersey hung up in the gym.

Is this basically cloning a currently existing entry?

Yup, same as what you made, I just hadn’t seen your extension.

I can’t seem to make this work. Latest build of EE and 1.0 version of your extension. I disabled all extensions and hacks but the duplicate extension and no luck. I click duplicate and the page refreshes and I notice at the bottom of the publishing page brackets “<>” shows up and when I go to the Edit page to find a duplicate entry none exist. Strange. I realize theres the cloner extension by Paul but I’d prefer yours as it doesn’t take up Edit page real estate.

If you want to take a look I can PM you access to the site pages.

Yea, if you can PM me a login i’ll take a look.

Ok, thanks, you should have a pm there.

Thanks Mark for helping me. For those like me that don’t pick up on the obvious that quickly, It works juuuust fine if you hit the “Submit” button after hitting Duplicate. DOH!!

Looks great, installed!

What are the main differences between this and the Cloner extension? I can never keep these two straight, and I actually have to install one for a client today.

No difference, I’d probably use the cloner extension though since it’ll probably get better support being a 1st party extension.

Thanks, Mark.

I just installed Cloner and it’s working OK, although it does conflict with my own ”Add Site Name” extension, apparently on the show_full_control_panel_end hook. Changing the priority of that hook in the Cloner extension to ‘9’ makes them work well together. I’m not sure if that’s the best way to get extensions to play nice - but it’s working!

huh, that’s strange.  i guess it works to just change the priority.
