Vorto, copy complex data from one lang to another

Hi,

For catalogue items we are using complex documenttype (dynamic created with embeddedblocks) wrapped inside nestedcontent (to simulate datatype - Jeroen B. tutorial: nestedcontent-vorto) and vorto (umb 7.14, vorto 1.71). So far so good - even with very complex structure, everything work well.

The problem we have now is that editors who edit one language first, want to copy structure and content to another language. I only found this two links

https://github.com/umco/umbraco-vorto/issues/52 https://github.com/anth12/umbraco-vorto/tree/copy-value

Has somebody tried to make vorto enhancment to grab json of one lang (structure and content!) and copy it to another lang (there's no need to check for overwritting existing content on other langu, as this would be rather easy to achieve if core functionality will work)?

Best regards, /Asembli

Ok,

if someone is interested in this, here is the solution (be aware that this intervene in vorto's core)

1) add notificationsService at vorto.js controller

2) add this to vorto.js

$scope.copyTo = function (language) {
    if (confirm("Copy language content [" + $scope.realActiveLanguage.name + "] to [" + language.name + "]?\nNote: Existing content at [" + language.name + "] will be overwritten!")) {

    // this actually save whatever is currently in fields
    $scope.$broadcast("vortoSyncLanguageValue", { language: $scope.realActiveLanguage.isoCode });

    setTimeout(function () {
        $scope.model.value.values[language.isoCode] = null;
        $scope.model.value.values[language.isoCode] = angular.copy($scope.model.value.values[$scope.realActiveLanguage.isoCode]);
        $scope.model.value.values[language.isoCode][0].key = generateUUID();
        notificationsService.success("Success", "Language [" + $scope.realActiveLanguage.name + "] copied to [" + language.name + "].");
    }, 100);
    };
};

$scope.filterLanguage = function (item) {
    if (item == $scope.activeLanguage) {
    return false;
    } else {
    return true;
    }
};

function generateUUID() {
    var d = new Date().getTime();
    if (Date.now) {
    d = Date.now();
    }
    var uuid = 'xxxxxxxx-xxxx-4xxx-yxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx'.replace(/[xy]/g, function (c) {
    var r = (d + Math.random() * 16) % 16 | 0;
    d = Math.floor(d / 16);
    return (c == 'x' ? r : (r & 0x3 | 0x8)).toString(16);
    });
    return uuid;
};

3) add this to vorto.html, as last tab, behind icon-globe

<li class="vorto-tabs__item vorto-tabs__item--menu">
<i class="icon icon-documents"></i>
<ul class="vorto-menu">
    <li class="vorto-menu__item vorto-menu__item--label">
    <label>Copy [{{activeLanguage.name}}] to...</label>
    </li>
    <li class="vorto-menu__item vorto-menu__item--icon"
    ng-repeat="language in languages | filter:filterLanguage"
    ng-click="copyTo(language);">
    <span>{{language.name}}</span>
    </li>
</ul>
</li>

4) add this to vorto.css

.vorto-menu__item:hover:not(.vorto-menu__item--label) {
background: #2e8aea;
color: #fff;
}

.vorto-menu__item--label * {
    font-weight: bold;
}

5) and the result

enter image description here

PS: maybe it is not obviously at first sight, but it copy also the whole structure eg. nested-content, embedded-block etc.
