Hi All,

I wrote small bash script to clone SOBI2 and all possible add-ons.
It works of course only under Linux and Mac OS.

Edit: this script has been added to our download directory: http://www.sigsiu.net/download/tools/cloning_tool.html

I have created two ( for Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.0 ) clones called com_sobidir. Additionally I have also clone for Joomla! 1.5 called  com_extensions (as on the demo site) with menu module, Report Listing plugin, Review & Rating plugin and SobiSef. These are clones of the latest SOBI2 RC2.9.1.0 version. If you want to have it, just let me know.
Condition to get this clone; at least one review star  

• Extract SOBI2 (or plugin or module etc)
• Copy the attached script (and unpack of course) into the directory where You've unpacked SOBI2 (or plugin or module etc)
• From the console execute sh clone_sobi.sh

You should see something like this:

radek@radek-laptop:~/Desktop/com_sobi2-RC2.8.svn-4100$ sh clone_sobi.sh
Enter clon name:
newsobiclone
Parsing ./toolbar.sobi2.php
............
Parsing ./admin.sobi2.cats.php
Parsing ./sobi2.xml

Enter menu description
My new SOBI2 clone

Renaming ./toolbar.sobi2.php to ./toolbar.newsobiclone.php
Renaming ./templates/default/sobi2.form.tmpl.php to ./templates/default/newsobiclone.form.tmpl.php
............
Renaming ./admin.sobi2.class.html.php to ./admin.newsobiclone.class.html.php
Renaming ./admin.sobi2.html.php to ./admin.newsobiclone.html.php

done: created new clone for SOBI2 called newsobiclone. You can pack it as ZIP file and install in Mambo/Joomla

WOW....! Great Work Neo!

I will try it as soon as I get a chance.

BTW I think it should also work on Mac. Am I right ?

NEO, this is excellent.

I work on a Mac to administer a linux server on the web. I was having problems using the find-replace technique to create a clone of 2.8.6. It worked one time, and was able to get one clone made that way, but subsequent attemtps to create additional clones kept failing.

I decided to try your bash script. Here were the steps I took:

1) Using webmin, uploaded the latest SOBI2 component zip file and extracted it on the server.
2) Uploaded your bash script to the same directory as the extracted SOBI2 Component.
3) Opened up my SSH client on my mac, and connected to the server.
4) Changed directories to my directory where the bash script and extracted SOBI2 files were.
5) Executed the bash script with the 'sh clone_sobi.sh' command.
6) Followed the prompts in the script to name my new clone.
7) The script completed successfully, verified by observing the renamed files in the directory.
8 ) In Joomla 1.5, went to the component install screen and used the INSTALL DIRECTORY option (the directory where the extracted and now modified SOBI2 files were).
9) Clicked the install button and SUCCESS! Component installed successfully.

Upon looking at the component menu, my new clone appears in the list, and everything in the clone appears to be working properly thus far. I'll let you know if I run in to any bugs.

Thanks again for your script!

Thanks for the feedback. I'm happy that it works for You 

BTW: Did You tried to use it also local? I think is should also works on MacOS.

Installed your testing clone.. when I try add a entry I get the following error:

In frontend or backend?

Could You post the whole message. There should be also something like "previously declared in ....."
