Duplicate pages with the native API 

To duplicate an existing page within Sitefinity CMS using the native API, perform the following:

  1. Use the PageManager class to create a new page node.
  2. To create a new page, call CreatePage() method.
    You need to specify the page node to be duplicated and the page name for the new page.
  3. Copy the page data of the node, using the CopyPageData() method. 

The following example demonstrates how to duplicate pages with the native API:

public void DuplicatePageNative(PageNode pageToCopy, string pageName)
{
    var manager = PageManager.GetManager();
    var newPagenode = manager.CreatePageNode();
 
    var pageDataId = Guid.NewGuid();
 
    PageData pageData = null;
    PageNode pageNode = null;
    PageNode parent = manager.GetPageNode(SiteInitializer.CurrentFrontendRootNodeId);
 
    // Create the page data
    pageData = manager.CreatePageData(pageDataId);
    manager.CopyPageData(pageToCopy.Page, pageData);
 
    pageNode = manager.CreatePage(parent, pageDataId, NodeType.Standard);
     
    // set page node properties
    pageNode.Page = pageData;
    pageNode.Name = pageName;
    pageNode.ShowInNavigation = true;
    pageNode.UrlName = Regex.Replace(pageName.ToLower(), @"[^\w\-\!\$\'\(\)\=\@\d_]+", "-");
    pageNode.Title = pageName;
 
    // set page data properties
    pageData.Title = pageName;
    pageData.Description = pageName;
    pageData.DateCreated = DateTime.UtcNow;
    pageData.LastModified = DateTime.UtcNow;
 
    manager.SaveChanges();
 
    var bag = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    bag.Add("ContentType", typeof(PageNode).FullName);
    WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow(pageNode.Id, typeof(PageNode), null, "Publish", false, bag);
}

Duplicate pages with the fluent API

To duplicate an existing page within Sitefinity CMS using the fluent API, perform the following:

  1. Use the Duplicate() method to duplicate the page.
  2. You need to specify the page node to be duplicated and the page name for the new page. 

The following example demonstrates how to duplicate pages with the native API:

public void DuplicatePageFluent(PageNode pageToCopy, string pageName)
{
    var myDuplicatedPage = App.WorkWith().Page(pageToCopy.Id).Duplicate().Do(pageNode =>
    {
        pageNode.Name = pageName;
        pageNode.ShowInNavigation = true;
        pageNode.UrlName = Regex.Replace(pageName.ToLower(), @"[^\w\-\!\$\'\(\)\=\@\d_]+", "-");
        pageNode.Title = pageName;
 
        if (pageNode.Page != null)
        {
            var pageData = pageNode.Page;
            pageData.Title = pageName;
            pageData.Description = pageName;
            pageData.DateCreated = DateTime.UtcNow;
            pageData.LastModified = DateTime.UtcNow;
        }
    }).SaveAndContinue().Get();
 
    // Publish
    var bag = new Dictionary<string, string>();
    bag.Add("ContentType", typeof(PageNode).FullName);
    WorkflowManager.MessageWorkflow(myDuplicatedPage.Id, typeof(PageNode), null, "Publish", false, bag);
}
