Description

What I would like is a button when editing topics in a course that I can use to duplicate the content of a topic as a new topic in the same course. Let us call it a DuplicateThisTopic button which could easily sit with existing edit, delete, hide, etc.... topic buttons in the editable view mode.

Obviously astute users can adeptly use backup/restore to achieve the same affect, but that is quite a bit to think about still more to do for average non-tech Moodle users.

Come on Team Moodle, this has to be a good one. What about it...?

Regards

JE Chappell

I have seen people request the ability to duplicate a topic in ANOTHER course. Perhaps the code is similar? I would like to see that. And I could see setting up a "template" topic and duplicating it within a course. This is related to the issue of duplicating activities, labels, resources (except those are individual items rather than a set) that we have been discussing for some time (since 1.4, I think!)

Solving the duplication issue, in all its forms, would be very helpful for teachers creating course content.

See http://moodle.org/mod/forum/post.php?reply=472453 for a recent post requesting the option of importing a topic into a different course.

I see this is classified as "minor". I hope that means it's easy to fix and not that it's considered of minor importance. I seem to be frequently reading in the forums for requests to duplicate topics and activities.
Writing in the tracker is quite a challenge for ordinary teachers because it looks awfully techie, but I think a lot of us would find this really useful. Making courses with a lot of varied content is very time consuming!

PS I must say AJAX makes moving activities very easy within a course.

I especially favor the option of copying topics into other courses.
