Features

-**Create Clone ** Now you will be able to clone every content type entry

-**Publish Clone ** When entry is clone, it could be published, which will overwrite original contentType record

-Preview your entry With customised preview URI, You can preview your draft (entry)

Preview URL customization: plugins.js

in file /config/plugins.js need to add previewUrl field with two parameters like below:

preview: {
  publicationState: 'preview',
  previewUrl: 'http://localhost:8001/preview/:contentType/:id'
}

:contentType - will be replaced with contentType :id - will be replaced with id of contentType record

Component model configuration

Component by default is neither previewable and cloneable . To enable You can configure it by setting previewable or cloneable to true in a configuration json file (*.settings.json):

For example for component called paragraph_component You need to change components/text/paragraph_component.json by modifying option object:

{
  "collectionName": "components_text_paragraph_components",
  "info": {
    "name": "paragraph_component",
    "icon": "align-justify"
  },
  "options": {
+    "previewable": true,
+    "cloneable": true
  },
  "attributes": {
    "body": {
      "type": "text"
    }
  }
}

Previewing and Cloning could be mixed, or you can just set one of them.

Usage

• Clone - Go to entry and click Clone (it will add new entry and set relation to original entry "cloneOf")
• Preview - Go to entry and click Preview (it will redirect to URI provided in plugins.js configuration with injected contentType and id)
• Publish - if entry has cloneOf relation, than You will be able to replace original entry with your modified one by clicking "publish" and confirmation in modal
