I am using Commerce Kickstart for Drupal 7, and I need to be able to clone products.

In Commerce Kickstart you have all the products just as "reference" of node, product display. I mean, the products themselves are displayed for customers similar like any other page, with "attached" actual products. (this allows you to create more variations of one type)

I am trying to clone both of those by one operation - to clone Product display (as node), and also referenced product by this product display. But when I used basic Node Clone module, it just clones Product display as a node but not the reference. Result is, the same cloned content with "attached" reference product at the very bottom, but when I change that product, It also changes the product of previously cloned product display.

Here is what I mean: http://harmonel.sk/stuff/drupal_commerce.jpg

I am not sure what to do, I am not very good with coding, maybe I should somehow re-write the Node Clone module to also clone the referenced product? Does anyone had similar or same problem? I am trying to achieve this with Rules but with no success, but maybe that would be the best way to achieve this?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Try https://www.drupal.org/project/replicate and https://www.drupal.org/project/replicate_commerce

The Node Clone module focus on cloning using the administration interface and is designed only for nodes replication, whereas Replicate can clone any entities (nodes, taxonomy terms, users, ...).

  • Thanks for your response! I did installed both of those modules, but I still do not get the usage. Can you please point me a bit more to right direction? How should I start? I have been writing custom codes in many web languages for years, but I am newbie in drupal, and it works a lot more different than custom plain php. I get it I have to write to template.php or write custom module, but I do not know how to do this. Would it be possible to execute custom php by rules? "after node is cloned"? Would not it be simpler?
