We'll be spending the next couple weeks shouting from Chicago's rooftops about all the new features of Pepper: our marketing platform built on Alfresco. Take a look at the webpage copy/paste feature we've brought to Pepper 2.0.

No one enjoys repeating themselves. No one enjoys repeating themselves. Ow, typing that all out twice was painful. And who has the time to copy/paste every element and every field? Let's use Pepper 2.0's 'Create from an Existing Page' magic to avoid having to manually recreate any of this post ever again.

Create from an Existing Page

Time and time again, our clients' marketing campaigns call on us to localize their sites across an international scale. These sites can be largely similar, at times involving subtle changes in regulatory status or product measurements; while at other times requiring full language translations. And as much as we enjoy the nuances between the Swedish and the Norwegian marketing initiatives, we wanted to make the process of differentiating their sites faster. And our solution eases language translation as well.

The new 'Create from Existing Page' feature automates much of the heavy labor involved with the localization process by repeating the work you already did with just a few clicks.

To utilize it, simply create a page as you normally would in Pepper by clicking on 'Create Page' in the Pepper Toolbar. With Pepper 2.0, you now have the option to 'Create from an Existing Page' in the Create Page window.

Your site map appears in the window. Select the page you wish to create from, click 'Create Page' and enter your Page Description as you normally would. You'll have a new page with all the content from your previously created page copied and pasted into it.

Copy and Paste Page Content

'Create from an Existing Page' copies all the content from the selected page and pastes it into your new page. The template, along with all images, copy, widgets, etc., are duplicated and ready to launch. We can then specifically adjust the product information or country specific details to our clients specifications and the page is localized. Or, we can use the duplicate page as a template for language translation with our WYSIWYG editor.
