Makes foe easy story templating
get it here[*1] .
Maybe Dirk will add it to future releases?

Hi suprsidr,
It's nice work!
If the story's date is set, it 's better I think.

I've updated this for geeklog 1.6.1 here[*1] .
@Dirk you should add this to future releases.
Its easy, keeps others from having to hack core code and would add a simple great feature.
And since I've done the work.... no skin off your back

I didn't see the point of this modification originally but have since changed my mind[*3] . It didn't make it into 1.6.1 due to time constraints and the fact that the code had deviated too much for easy integration.
I'll take a look at the updated patch. Thanks!
bye, Dirk

I've got it working, but I think it does need some work, to be honest.
For example, the cloned story gets new permissions (why?), but the story id is not changed. I would also expect the clone to have the current date / time while the various counters (hits, comments, trackbacks) should be reset. Those are easy to fix of course.
I'm not quite sure what to do with images, though. If the original story contains uploaded images, should those be copied, too?

Sure, why not.
I'm thinking nobody would really clone a story to have two of the same.
The purpose would more likely be for templating, so images might just act as placeholders.

I should read all of it...
For example, the cloned story gets new permissions (why?)
I built a site for a marina who had multiple departments and story admins, each template I made was available to any story admin, but the the stories these admins published had a new owner, topic, rights...
It worked perfect.
