[Bug 1376073] Re: Soft copies of templates

 

This sounds a great idea - probably just want it to be restricted to
site/institution pages to start with maybe.

It does sound good for the templates that get copied to a new user on on
user creation where all the users are created on day 1 but many of them
don't actually login until later and so some of the data will be
obsolete.

Title:
  Soft copies of templates

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  New

Bug description:
  Feature idea from ePortfolio workshop:

  Make templates do soft copies (by default?), saving a link to the
  original content rather than actually copying it. Updates to the
  original template could then be automatically reflected in copies.
  When a user edits their copy, the soft link is broken so that updates
  to the template don't overwrite the modified content.

  Soft copies would also reduce the cost in time and disk usage of
  creating a copy.
