Yeah, this would be very useful. However I would like to suggest a more complete solution.
There should be Copy link in Admin/Browse/Category browser.
Should be placed near Edit | Delete | Move links, so should be look like this:
| Edit | Delete | Move | Copy |
Clicking on the Copy link, should display a page with text & options
(the [x][ ] are checkboxes, (O)( ) are radiobuttons):
Code:
Select what to Copy :
( )
This Category and Subcategories [ ]
And Links in this category (Unchecked by default) [ ]
And Links in all subcategories below (Each link will be copied
to the matching subcategory with same name. If a category is missing,
it will be created). Unchecked by default. ( )
Only Subcategories of this category [x]
And Links in all subcategories below (Each link will be copied
to the matching subcategory with same name. If a category is missing,
it will be created). Checked by default. ( )
Only this category (without subcategories) [x]
And Links in this category (Checked by default) ( )
Only Links in this Category [ ]
And Links in all subcategories below (all links will be merged
into target category without subcategories). Unchecked by default. [ Copy ] [ Cancel ]
No radio button is checked by default.
After Copy is clicked, the following text is displayed:
"Now select & click the destination category on the left category tree"
After clicking the copy is done.
The
Move feature could have similar features, to move just links, subcategories, or any combination, like in the suggestion above.
Alex, Staff, think about this suggestion. This is worked out correctly for you.
