Clone Site and Assets

I thought I have read somewhere within a forum that the latest version of Matrix 4.2.3 would be able to clone a complete website including the assets to create a complete stand alone website with its own assets to that site.


Have I got this wrong?



Many thanks for your help.

Obviously not.

What you might be talking about is using the import and export script of matrix to do this. And yes there are a lot on changes that wen in recently to make the import/export scripts more reliable and efficient. The report related to it is #5170 Changes to export sciript in Matrix for better structured import. Although this changes went in 4.2.3 which means it is only available 4.2.4 onwards.

Apart from that there is a cloneAsset() JS API function going in version 4.4.2 (#5170 Changes to export sciript in Matrix for better structured import) which might be something you can look into eventually.



Hope this helps.
