Alessandro Cipriani	Monday 15 November 2004 2:03:26 am hi all i have to let the users of my site to duplicate the objects of class x. i added a custom datatype to the class that creates a unique identifier (md5 of currentTyme) for the object. My users will need to duplicate these objects to have a DIFFERENT one with the SAME values but, in order to have a real different object I'd like to have a new identifier for the copied object. should i modify my datatype? how? should i modify the ezContentObject->copy function? is there a way? best regards alessandro

hi all
i have to let the users of my site to duplicate the objects of class x.
i added a custom datatype to the class that creates a unique identifier (md5 of currentTyme) for the object.
My users will need to duplicate these objects to have a DIFFERENT one with the SAME values but, in order to have a real different object I'd like to have a new identifier for the copied object.

should i modify my datatype? how?
should i modify the ezContentObject->copy function?
is there a way?
