Hi,

I have a parent tab that is a template for several other tabs I am creating programmatically.  I can create the new tabs and copy over the modules with the content from the parent tab using TabController, CopyTab and setting IncludeContent to True.  

 

Dim objtab As New TabController

objtab.CopyTab(0, 10, newtabid,

True)

When I do this, instead of creating new modules it just copies over the same modules from the template tab with the same ModuleIDs.  So, if I change or add content to the new pages, it shows up on the template tab also.  If I change the IncludeContent to False, it adds new Modules with new ModuleIDs, but the template content is missing. 

objtab.CopyTab(0, 10, newtabid, False)

Does anyone know how I can copy a tab with it's modules, but instead of just duplicating the moduleIDs from the template add new ModuleIDs?  That way when I change the new tab the original template will stay the same?

Thanks for your help!

MJC

You may be able to come up with a solution where your modules get their content with the ModuleID if there is no content saved with the TabModuleID.  That way you can default your content, yet override it per tab when necessary.

Thanks for the reply!  I'm not quite sure what you mean, can you go into more depth?

Yes but I ought to get more info from you first. - Are these custom modules that you are coding?  If so how are you storing the content now?

No, they are nothing fancy.  Just the gallery, document and text modules.  The reason I want to copy the content from the modules is because the gallery will have several pre-set albums that I want to be in place for the new page...

Thanks again!
