collective.updatelinksoncopy 1.0b1

Update links to child objects in TextFields when an Archetypes based object is copied and pasted

Introduction

A drop in package for Plone that improves the copy and paste operation of folder structures. UID inline links are rewritten if they reference any of the content within the folder structure being copied so that they now link to the copied content.

Todo

• Should also update references to any related items.

Credits

Initial development by Matt Halstead sponsored by Innovationz.

Installation

This package requires Plone 3.x or later (tested on 3.3.x).

If you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can add collective.updatelinksoncopy to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

[buildout]
...
eggs =
    ...
    collective.updatelinksoncopy

(If you are working with a version of Plone < 3.3 then you’ll also need to install a ZCML slug.)
