The general principle of duplicate is called an entity declination, a content entity in a different context than the original one.

Principles

This section describes the different principles of declination where the project is the only variable.

...

All the project variations of the same instance are presented in an tab other projects accessible from the visualization action.

Technical prerequisites

To be able to copy content to another project, you must have installed the following components:

• an object to be copied must inherit from the object contentobject at least the following information:

  • property master

  • property lang (not required)

  • property media

  • property mediagroup

• The product plugin WXM_Mediacore must be enabled and the isPushContentActive parameter must be set to yes

• Security must allow users to create objects (domain objectdata and insert action)

Execute a declination in a project

In the back-office, the copying to another project functionality allows you to easily perform a declination from the visualization of an object:

1. in the toolbar, click the' copy to another project' button.

   

2. a window will open where you can select up to three actions:

   • make a single copy

   • propose the content (see content proposal)

   • impose content (see content imposition)

     

3. Select the content destinations

4. Setting up the new objects (optional step see setting up the new objects)

5. Confirm the action to be performed

6. A result page shows the objects created

Easily set up the steps

You can simply intervene on the declination stepboard simply via labels:

Action selection

The selection of the action depends on several criteria specific to each of these actions. The declination of an object to another project will always be available, go to the "imposition" and "proposal" sections for more information on their activation.

Project selection

The smalllist showing destination projects uses fields with the label wxm_datapushcontent_field by default. If no field has it, the standard operation applies.

The list of displayed projects is the one where the current object is not declined. For objects configured as "content objects" (see settings and object configuration), you can apply an automatic filter to hide layout-driven projects and prevent, for example, users from manually pushing an object into a DTP project. This filter is not active by default. To enable it, you must change the value of the pushContentShowLayoutDrivenProjects parameter of the WXM_MediaCore plugin.

List of results

The smalllist presenting newly created objects uses by default fields labeled wxm_datapushcontent_field.

If no fields are shown on this label then the standard operation will apply.

Updating of allocations

...

During the declination action, the system creates a new object for the selected project context by duplicating the source and changing some properties automatically:

• the media will be the one of destination

• If the object is linked to other object instances via the attribution notion (child, childmulti) and these objects are also declineable, the system will automatically retrieve equivalent versions to update the property.

Manually configure a property during declination

You can manually override a property when declining. Indeed, the creation of a declination using the module WmsUtils, forced in the new object as well as a java.util.HashSet we pass in parameter a java.util.HashMap with the values which will be objects of collection not to duplicate (for example paragraphs).

Standard errors

During a project declination, errors are displayed in the results list.
