Duplicate Post (2010-06-30)
Create a copy of a post. [read full description]Allows to create a draft copy of a post (or page) in two ways: 1. In 'Edit Posts'/'Edit Pages', you can click on 'Duplicate' link; 2. While editing a post/page, you can click on 'Copy to a new draft' above "Cancel"/"Move to trash".
Both ways lead to the edit page for the new draft: change what you want, click on 'Publish' and you're done.
In the Options page it is now possible to choose: * if the original post/page date must be copied too * which custom fields must not be copied * a prefix to place before the title of the cloned post/page * the minimum user level to clone posts or pages
Duplicate post is natively in English, but it's shipped with translations in 11 other languages (though some are incomplete). Now there is a Launchpad translation project available to help translating this plugin: feel free to contribute (you can also send me an e-mail using the form on my website).
If you're a plugin developer, I suggest to read the section made just for you under "Other Notes", to ensure compatibility between your plugin(s) and mine!
The plugin has been tested against versions 2.7 -> 3.0. It should be compatible with the Custom Post Type and Custom Taxonomies features of WP 3.0. It's not yet been tested with the multiblog feature active (but it used to work with WPMU).
Thanks for all the suggestions, bug reports, translations and donations: Franz, Ben ter Stal, Naoko McCracken, Simon Wheatley, Magnus Anemo, Michelle Drumm, TVbytheNumbers.com, Richard Vencu, el_libre, Antoine Jouve, Sebastian, Yaron, Hiroshi Tagawa, Adam Skiba, Bartosz Kaszubowski, Braiam Peguero, Jonay, tam, my friends Livia, Alessandra, Ada and anybody else that I may have forgotten (sorry!)
Credit must be given to the (great) Post Template plugin by Vincent Prat: I made this by hacking his work to get something more focused to a sporadic use, without the need to create and manage templates just to make simple copies of some posts every now and then. If my plugin doesn't fits your needs (and even if it does) check Vincent's.
An example of use: I started this for a small movie theater website which I'm building. Every Friday there's a new movie showing with a new timetable, and thus a new post: but sometimes a movie stays for more than a week, so I need to copy the last post and change only the dates, leaving movie title, director's and actors' names etc. unchanged. The website is http://www.kino-desse.org and the cinema is located in Livorno, Italy.

Amazon Product In a Post Plugin (2010-01-03)
Quickly add formatted Amazon Products to post/page by using just the Amazon ASIN (ISBN-10). Great for monetizing your posts. [read full description]Amazon Product In a Post Plugin is used to to quickly add a formatted Amazon Product/Item to a post or page by using just the Amazon product ASIN (also known as the ISBN-10).
What can you use it for? With this plugin you can:
- Add any Amazon product or item to an existing Post (or Page).
- Monetize your blog posts with custom Amazon Product and add your own Reviews, descriptions or any other thing you would normally want to add to a post - and still have the Amazon product there.
- Easily add only the items that are right for your site.
- Add the product to the TOP of the post content, the BOTTOM of the post content, or make the post content become part of the product layout (see screenshots for examples)
- UPDATE 10/4/09 - You can now add as many products as you want to any existing page/post content using a Shortcode - see Installation or FAQ page for details.
- UPDATE 12/22/09 - Added French and Spanish language support for text labels in displayed product.
- UPDATE 1/3/10 - Added German Language support for text labels in displayed product.
If you have an Amazon Affiliate account and you don't think the available Amazon widgets are that great or are what you need, then this plugin might be for you.
How it Works: The plugin uses the newly revised (and re-named) Amazon Product Advertising API. Older plugins that use Old API calls will no longer work as of 8/2009 because Amazon implemented a new security call procedure that makes many of them obsolete.
To use the plugin, you must have an Amazon Affiliate Account. You can sign up here if you do not have one - it is free and pretty easy to do. Once you have an account, install the plugin, then enter your Amazon Associate ID in the plugin options page. You are now ready to start adding products to your post!
PLEASE NOTE: If you DO NOT add your own custom Associate ID, you WILL NOT get credit for any purchases made from your product posts - so don't set up products on a live site unless you enter that first - or you may lose out on some referral $$. You have been warned!
