Copy Page Functions - Only One Shot? 

Is it just me, or is the moment when I'm on the Add New Page > Page Management settings page my "One Shot" at using the Copy Page Functions in DNN?

I'm running DNN 4.5.3 and haven't seen mention of this in any of the more recent version releases (unless I'm blind, which I very well could be).

This function is just simply GREAT for streamlining consistent layouts without the trouble of setting up page templates. But at this point, I do not have the option to "Copy From Page" any other time than the initial Add a New Page step.

For those of you who don't know, this feature allows you to select an alread-existing page, then copy modules on that page by the following methods: new  (module/container/placement only), copy (module/container/placement/content), or reference (basically a module <!-- include -->). If you haven't tried it out, do it. It's great.

Re: Copy Page Functions - Only One Shot? 

By the way, seems as if even on adding new pages, the Copy From Page function is a bit buggy.

I've had a few instances now where Copying a module from a page as "new" item on the newly-added page doesn't actually make the copy.

It'd be nice to hear if others have had this problem yet...I see this as a great timesaver that saves me a bunch of clicks and pageloads!

Re: Copy Page Functions - Only One Shot? 

Actually, this seems to be VERY buggy.

I'm having issues of duplicate "copies" from one page to the next that can't be edited, difficult to delete, and having some just general quirks that I don't want to deal with right now.

Damn. It was such a great idea!
