Blog - Movable Type Copy! plugin
Movable Type Copy! plugin
Ever need to copy an entry or template to a new one in your Movable Type blog? That usually involves having 2 windows (or tabs), and cut & pasting each of the fields you need.
No more! This new plugin will copy an entry (or page) or template. It simply adds a "Copy" button to the editor, which creates a new object with the same content.
So simple, I called it "Copy!".

Features
- Adds a "Copy" button to the entry and template editors
- Adds a "Copy" link next to the "Edit" link in MT's default search template
- When either of the above is used, all basic fields are copies to a new entry/template
For entries: Title, Body, Extended, Excerpt, Accept Comments/Trackbacks, Convert Breaks, Keywords, Categories
For templates: Name, Text, Type, Publish Options, Identifier
Note: Tags, and extensions like CustomFields are not supported - Multilingual interface (English, French and Japanese)
Requirements
- Movable Type 4+
Download

Tested on Movable Type 4.1

Installation and setup
- Place the
Copyfolder inside of your Movable Type installation's plugins folder (typically /cgi-bin/mt/plugins/)
That's all!
Important note: Users of the NewEntryTemplate plugin must upgrade to version 1.4+.

I am trying to use your plugin with MT 4.2 rc3 and I am having a problem. The button shows up propely but when I click it a blank entry is brought up.
Have you tested with 4.2?
Let me know if you need a beta tester.
Thanks,
Ron
