Huh, I thought for sure I'd already filed a wishlist about this one
myself, but I can't find one, so maybe I forgot.

I have definitely researched this one before. My favorite choice was
zeroclipboard (http://zeroclipboard.org/), which I seem to recall is
what github uses. There's even a handy jQuery library for it to make it
easier: http://www.steamdev.com/zclip/

I also looked into what gerrit uses, but that wasn't as satisfactory
because it was an older library that was no longer being updated. I
think it also didn't support translations as well either.

Interestingly, YouTube doesn't have a "copy" button like github and
gerrit. Instead in YouTube, when you bring up the "share" dialog, the
URL or embed iframe code are within a text field where the text is
already selected and you just have to hit Control-C to copy it. So
that's another way we could go.

Title:
  wishlist: button to reliably copy secret URLs

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Hi Team!
  Another Wishlist item - this time regarding copying secret URL's.
  At the moment we rely on students and staff to accurately select all of the secret URL as seen in attached screenshot.

  This can be a hit and miss affair and leaving off even one character
  results in a broken link.

  My wish is for a "Copy link to clipboard" button - to make the
  select/copy process simple and painless.

  This feature can be seen on any Web2 app where someone has to copy
  embed code (eg. youtube, prezi) and just makes it easy.

  Thanks very much.
  Shane.
