How to copy an entry?

[Connaisseur_M]

Does anyone know how to "copy" an entry to a new one?

I've created several "template" entries as drafts and want to use them for new entries. Since I can only Edit or Delete existing entries, but not copy them, I manually copy/paste the HTML-Code from one entry to another.

I'm sure there's a clever way to do that, that I've not come across.

Can anyone help me with that?

Actually, no. Copy+Paste is the way to go. It's not common for blogging that you re-use articles, so there is no mechanism whatsoever to duplicate entries as new entries.

Thanks for that quick answer of yours!

Hmm if it's a kind of paradigm I guess it's no use putting that on the feature wishlist for next versions then, isn't it?

I guess it wouldn't help so much

You could though get into PHP and program the plugin yourself, the hooks should be all there.

You could even do some JS-bookmarklet stuff inside the entry editor to get older entries contents...
