'Copy A Snippet' Feature for Wagtail CMS

'Copy A Snippet' Feature for Wagtail CMS

You can now "copy" snippets (non-page models) in Wagtail CMS

Installation

1. Install the python package wagtailsnippetscopy from pip

pip install wagtailsnippetscopy

Alternatively, you can install download or clone this repo and call pip install -e ..

2. Add to INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py:

'wagtailsnippetscopy',

3. Register a model (with a title field name) you wish to enable copy functionality for:

from wagtailsnippetscopy.registry import snippet_copy_registry

snippet_copy_registry.register(YourModel, {})

4. Add SnippetCopyMixin to your Snippet model in order to enable get_copy_url callback() for the model:

from wagtailsnippetscopy.models import SnippetCopyMixin
from wagtail.snippets.models import register_snippet

@register_snippet
class Graph(SnippetCopyMixin, models.Model):

In order for the Copy Button to appear in your Snippet list actions automatically, add the following to your app wagtail_hooks.py

from wagtail import hooks
from wagtail.snippets import widgets as wagtailsnippets_widgets

@hooks.register('register_snippet_listing_buttons')
def snippet_listing_buttons(snippet, user, next_url=None):
    if hasattr(snippet, "get_snippet_copy_url"):
        url = snippet.get_snippet_copy_url()
        yield wagtailsnippets_widgets.SnippetListingButton(
            "Copy",
            url,
            priority=20
        )

Now if you go to your snippet list, you will see a new Copy button alongside Edit and Delete

5. If you wish copy link to automatically appear in modeladmin list you should add SnippetCopyModelAdminMixin to the ModelAdmin class:

In admin.py:

from wagtail.contrib.modeladmin.options import ModelAdmin, modeladmin_register
from wagtailsnippetscopy.admin import SnippetCopyModelAdminMixin
from .models import YourModel

class YourModelAdmin(SnippetCopyModelAdminMixin, ModelAdmin):
    model = YourModel

modeladmin_register(GraphAdmin)

6. Copy link follows the following pattern:

/admin/copy-snippet/<app_label>/<model_name>/<object_id>/
