Changed behaviour 2.6.1 clone entry in Safecracker ?

I’m seeing the same. Anyone have a solution?

I’ve confirmed that this is a deliberate change in EE for 2.6.1 for security issues. I don’t have an answer for how to duplicate now, but it looks like it will take some php work. Hopefully someone else will have a solution!

Very good - I suspected as much, but is nice to get that confirmed. Cloning is basic functionality and a real time saver. Should be worth the effort to resolve.

Here’s what I’m doing for now until I find something better.

Embed the info from the entry you want to duplicate as a form within the parent SafeCracker page. Something like:

-----
PARENT
-----

{exp:safecracker channel="my_channel"}

    {embed="my_tpl_group/my_form" copy_from_entry_id="123"}

    
        <button id="form_submit" type="submit" class="">Duplicate Program</button>
    

{/exp:safecracker}


-----
EMBED
-----

{exp:channel:entries channel="my_channel" entry_id="{embed:copy_from_entry_id}" }

    {!-- Output the pre-filled form of the entry you are wanting to duplicate --}
    
        <label for="program_number">program_number</label>
        <input type="text" name="program_number" id="program_number" value="{if program_number}{program_number}{/if}">
    

    <input type="hidden" name="program_start_date" id="program_start_date" value="{if program_start_date}{program_start_date format='%F %d, %Y'}{/if}">

    .....etc.....

{/exp:channel:entries}

Very good start. I’ll have to think a bit on how best to automate. Not time for that right now, but will come back if I find another solution.

Good approach. Any luck on these? specifically cloning matrix fields via safecracker? So far I got it to copy only the first row by manipulating the field_id_29[row_order][] and

This method with the embed works but does not allow for Inline Error reporting - did you ever figure out a better way of doing this front-end cloning? Or have an idea how to get error reporting functioning?

A better approach would be to use stash http://devot-ee.com/add-ons/stash

Using stash, you pull the variable and load them to the form individually.

Hmm - a different approach… so it would be not so much strictly a clone but rather using Stash to get the data for each field from a specific entry ID and populating a blank Channel Form’s fields to make a new entry? Interesting…
