Hi,

Is there (or will there be) any way to copy (duplicate) a page template?

I haven't found anything in SDK.

What about saving a page as template (could be a nice feature in some cases)?

Thanks

Udo

Hello Le Corbu,

There is no facade or public method that you can use to duplicate a template. The current implementation allows you to duplicate PageNodes only. You can use PageManager and its GetTemplate(Guid id) method to get the template you want to duplicate and then create a new template

PageTemplate template = null;

masterFilePath = VirtualPathUtility.ToAppRelative(masterFilePath);

var pageManager = PageManager.GetManager();

template = pageManager.CreateTemplate();

template.Name = nameFromOld;

template.Title = nameFromOld;

emplate.MasterPage = masterFilePathFromOld;

Hello,
I ma trying to achieve the same functionality. Could you please help me with how I can duplicate a template? I am fairly new to Sitefinity and have inherited a client website that requires some changes. Where should i be pasting this piece of code or is there a way to duplicate it from database itself? Please help me with this in detail. I am stuck with this problem since 2 days.
Thanks
Brijesh

Hi,

Even with the latest Sitefinity release duplication of Templates is not possible. The only way you can achieve duplication is to recreate the template manually.

We have a PITS issue opened about this feature request where you can track on its progress and vote to increase its popularity.
