Second issue (relates more to Radiant’s design):
The addition of the “Duplicate” link to the standard Radiant interface only works if other extensions aren’t competing to modify that interface. For example, in the latest 0.6.1 version the Reorder extension modifies this interface. As a result I don’t get the Duplicate link. I had to modify the Reorder extension to include the Duplicate link.

Anyway, your extension was *much needed* and very welcome!! Thank you.

It was necessary to fix the duplicate extension because the “Copy whole tree” option wasn’t recursive enough. It went only 2 generations deep. Here’s the revised method:

def duplicate_children source_page, dest_page, recursive = false
source_page.children.each do |page|
new_page = duplicate_page page, dest_page
if recursive
page.children.each do |sub_page|
new_page = duplicate_page sub_page, new_page
duplicate_children sub_page, new_page, true
end
end
end
end
