The clone module allows users to make a copy of an existing item of site content (a node) and then edit that copy. The authorship is set to the current user, the menu and url aliases are reset, and the words "Clone of" are inserted into the title to remind you that you are not editing the original content.
可以从已存在的节点(node)copy一份过来,然后编辑保存。copy过来的内容作者是当前的用户,菜单和 url aliases 都会被重置。clone过来的节点会在title上加一个"Clone of"来提醒你这是copy过来的,以便和之前的节点区分开。
安装上node clone后,默认的所有内容类型都会启用,你也可以设定,导航到 admin/settings/clone 然后在Omitted content types:这里勾选不想启用的内容类型即可。这样,当你在浏览启用的内容类型的文章时,有个Clone tag,点击,然后你就有一个它的副本了。
This module is similar in purpose and function to the "Edit As New" module that was available for Drupal 4.5.
Important: In general, any complex or custom node type may not clone cleanly. This module has an extra hook in case you want to try to do a little extra cleanup to make a specific node type work.
Older versions are not recommended for use together with the internationalization (i18n) module due to unpredictable effect on translation behavior in certain circumstances, however this should be fixed in latest 6.x-1.2 and later releases.
The module provides two mechanisms to clone current content. The default pre-populates the form for adding a new node, but nothing is saved to the DB until that form is submitted. With the alternative save/edit method, a copy of the current node is saved to the DB, and then presented in the edit form. When using the save/edit mode, the admin can set whether a confirmation screen is required, and in all cases you can set whether to reset the publishing options on a per-content-type basis.
This module has also been used by some to facilitate node templating.
