[TYPO3] Is there a copy row or dulpicate row function?

[Anders Tillbeck]

Hi Sander

Thanks for your post. I had no time to try it out until last night 
(sunday). It seems that the links you posted should contain the info 
that I need ;-)

So far I have had no luck but have only worked with it a couple of 
hours. I will give try it out again tomorrow (tuesday) and will post my 
findings here.

I am trying to insert data into the tt_content table in a frontend 
plugin. There is a be_user logged in at the time.

As a test I have tried to create a page since this example is given in 
the docs you posted a link to and also copy a row in tt_content:

// prepare copy tt_content.uid.56 and set pid=7
$cmd['tt_content'][56]['copy'] = 7;

// prepare creating page as first page in parent page.uid.4
$data['pages']['NEW9823be87'] = array(
     "title" => "The page title",
     "subtitle" => "Other title stuff",
     "pid" => "4"
);

// Include class and call methods
require_once (PATH_t3lib.'class.t3lib_tcemain.php');
$tce = t3lib_div::makeInstance('t3lib_TCEmain');
$tce->stripslashes_values = 0;

// execute copy of tt_content
$tce->start(array(),$cmd);
$tce->process_cmdmap();

// execute creation of page
$tce->start($data,array());
$tce->process_datamap();
t3lib_BEfunc::getSetUpdateSignal('updatePageTree');
$tce->clear_cacheCmd('pages');


But, until now it seems not to work for me.
