Hi syedmushran,

Do you want this custom button in addition to the current methods of copying a page?

A page can be copied in the Sitemap and within the Versions menus.

Hi MrKDilkington,

Yes, I would like to add this button to the CCM-Toolbar. I'm just trying to cut the down the steps to get to the existing options. I'm completely new to Concrete5 and have no idea on how to achieve this.

Appreciate your reply. Thanks!

Hi
I'm affraid that this isn't possible without writing some code. Also is to note that the Page object is one of the largest in the system.

There is a method inside the Page Class:
// Get the page object
$page = Concrete\Core\Page::getByID(123);
// Get the collection for the page
$nc = Concrete\Core\Page\Collection::getByID($page->cID);
// Then duplicate
$page->duplicate($nc);
// Where $nc is the collection object for the page


To add a button to your toolbar you have to override the native toolbar in the application folder. BUT be very carefull when trying this! The page which is rendering the top toolbar is located here: /concrete/elements/page_controls_header.php
