README

TYPO3 extension that allows copying content elements of ONE language from one page to another — without copying the translations!

Features

• Adds a copy button to each language column header in the page module's "Languages" view
• Modal dialog lets you configure:
  • Which content elements to copy (checkbox per element)
  • Target page ID
  • Target language UID (allows copying content into a different language)
  • "Keep visible" option to prevent hiding elements on copy
• Preserves colPos and sorting of the original elements
• Respects permissions

EXT:container support

When EXT:container is installed, only top-level content elements (tx_container_parent = 0) are listed in the dialog. Container children are copied automatically as part of their parent container element by the DataHandler.

Technical Details

• Uses the DataHandler command map (process_cmdmap) with the paste mechanism to copy records and apply field overrides in a single operation
• Checks read permissions on source page and edit permissions on target page

Requirements

• TYPO3 12.4 or higher
• PHP 8.2 or higher
