HOW DUPLICATE SINGLETON??

[raffaelj]

There is no easy method, yet.

You can copy and paste the field definitions from /storage/singleton/old.singleton.php to /storage/singleton/new.singleton.php. Now the fields are cloned.

If you want to clone the data, too, just get the data from the old one and save it to the new one.

The PHP way:

// get data from singleton "old"
$data = $app->module('singletons')->getData('old');

// save data to "new"
$app->module('singletons')->saveData('new', $data);

Here is a simple way to save singletons via api:

Update collection and singleton via api

If you want to save singleton data via api, just create a custom api endpoint in config/api/singletons/save/singletonname.php with this content: <?php return $this->invoke('Singletons\\Controller\\Admin', 'update_data', ['singletonname']); Now send a request: https://url.to/cockpit/api/singletons/save/singletonname?token=xxtokenxx json post body: {"data":{"title":"test","content":"updated content"}} Caution: It updates empty values, too. So you always have to send all fields or the othe…

This topic goes back about a year, since then is there an easy way to duplicate a singleton on front end ?

I have a singleton that has inside it a number of components, and I need many singletons with same basic compenents and I will then manually update data inside those components. I understand duplicating the singleton .php file and renaming it creates the basic singleton in Cockpit, but none of the components are there.

I don’t know how to use the api to do what is suggested above so wondering if there has been developed an easier method for this all important task. Thanks so much

I would also like it if there was a function directly in the interface to duplicate a singleton. that should be easy to implement.
