Copy FieldtypeTable contents

[noodles]

Hi there,

I am trying to move all Repeater fields to PageTable fields at one of our projects.

One of my Repeater fields contains Table fields (FieldtypeTable, from the ProFields package) and I somehow can't move the contents from a specific Repeater item to the destination Page.

A simple

$newPage->tableField = $repeaterElement->tableField;

doesn't work.

Anyone got any ideas?

 

Thanks!

there are some discussions and instructions on how to do this in the forum somewhere; i think this was the recommended way:

        $cloneFromTable   = $page->repeater->table;
        $cloneToTable     = $page->table;

        foreach($cloneFromTable as $row) {
            $row->id = null;
            $cloneToTable->add($row);
        }

in other words i think you have to iterate the rows from the old table to the new table; AFAIK there is no way to copy the whole thing at once, unless something changed since the last time i needed to do this.

You might want to check over in the Profields Table forum about this specifically.

It seems like the title of your post doesn't match what you are asking. Repeater to PageTable is very different from copying FieldtypeTable contents.

I have scripts for both, but I assume you want the former based on what you wrote, so take a look at this:
