    Hi,

    Is it possible to duplicate the ‘Uploader Instances’?
    Or in some way copy the settings?

    I thought maybe copying and pasting the shortcode into a new Instance might duplicate the settings, but it doesn’t. This would make it easier to setup multiple Instances – where you want the same basic settings and only need to change a few minor things.

    Thanks

    Dave

    Yes you can do it. You can just copy the shortcode and paste it in another page.

    If you use multiple instances on the same page, make sure they have different uploadid attributes.

    Hi Nickolas,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I mean is there a way of duplicating the ‘Uploader instances’ themselves – so that I could then change one or two settings, but without having to recreate all the settings each time.

    For example, I want a different instance that sends the email notification to another email address, but I want all the fields and layout and other settings to be the same as the other instances.

    I see your suggestion – I could re-use the shortcode and maybe manually tweak some of the settings in the shortcode, but I would prefer generate a new instance as it keeps things a bit cleaner and more user friendly for future editing.

    It’s ok if it doesn’t do it, I was just wondering as it would save me some time. Maybe an idea for the future.

    Have in mind that when you duplicate a shortcode, even if you do it manually, you can configure it easily using its visual editor. There is no need to do it manually.

    I suppose you know how to invoke the visual editor for an instance right? It is described in this article.
