Up until the general release of MT 4.3, we are publishing details on the features of 4.3. Today we'll focus on blog cloning.
For quite some time, blog cloning has been built into Movable Type. It was created to help you add a new blog without having to recreate templates, categories or anything else. The problem is that most people never needed to clone everything in a blog. With 4.3, we're adding the ability to omit entries, comments, trackbacks, categories, or any combination thereof, from the cloning process. It may seem like a minor addition, but it can save precious time while developing a site.
The cloning process also allows you to set the blog name, path and URL before you clone the blog to prevent accidentally overwriting existing content. We've put in several more checks (e.g., a confirmation page, better defaults) to make this process rock solid.
Personally, it has already made testing and setting up a few new installations much easier and faster. I hope this feature will scratch an itch for many of the Movable Type consultants out there.
