Adding the Clone feature/link to page of item just finished

As we are only on our 230th item with thousands to go, I'd like to know how I can add the "Clone" link to an item I just finished adding details to, rather then click on "modify item," then finding the item I just entered, then clicking on "clone." It would be a time saver as most products I'm entering are almost a replica of the next, which is why I love the clone feature, I don't have to re-enter options, colors, etc. (i.e. same category, etc.). It could be at the very bottom of the details page of an item. Thank you. :lol:

skin1/main/product_modify_message.tpl add this at the top:

Code:

{*** Force back to modify other products ***}

{literal}

<script>

history.go(-2);

</script>

{/literal}

{*** Force back to modify other products ***}

:wink:

with so many products you would be as well to create a spreadsheet and use the import products feature

How is that done?

best way to do it is first use the export products option and this will give you a good template to work on.

open this in exel and do the reverse to import it.

try with a few products untill you get the hang of it.

I find tab delimited files work best and also choose to add the column headers

Good stuff, I'll try it. I still have a couple hundret products to add to my store (with almost a thousand already added).

Thank you very much shan, I will definitely be looking into that. And thanks BOOMER as well, I'll be doing that too. :)

Hey BOOMER, that didn't work for me (3.4.8), although thank you for the effort. When I tried to modify a product, it would take me back to a blank search screen and when I tried to add a product from scratch, it would log me out. Any ideas?
