Here's what I need... I've developed an App (with the standard plugins) that I need for a new client, but instead of creating it again from scratch, I want to hit a "Copy" function in the Control Panel to copy all the existing plugins and assign this to my new client with a new App name. Has anyone implemented a function like this? -Gary Title Comments I'm still new to the Buzztouch world and the apps that I've created are self hosted with BuzzTouchMods (David). Here's what I need...

It turns out to be a very complex process because of the way that the database is setup, and how it would need to copy existing screens to new screens. I've been working with David on possible interim functions that would allow some copying, but its still early in the brain storming phase. Depending on what plugins you're using, and how many screens you have, the JSON Snippet Keeper plugin might save you a bunch of time versus creating all the screens again. I've been meaning to make a how-to webinar on doing something like this. Maybe this will give me a reason to get it finished. Comments This is something that's been asked for many times.

I will have users going into my control panel to change some of their data, so I still need this capability. I know its not an easy task, but can I pay you to write this for me and I'll give you rights to resell??? You can email me at [email protected] Comments Thanks for the update, but it still seems too time consuming plus when watching your video, it seems that by coping the JSON snipit of code, I lose the actual plugin in my control panel to modify???
