Clone tab

I've been looking for that in edit mode and found it in view mode

I'm not seeing it either. What do I need to include in my template to get a link?

Edit: Answer:
print render($action_links);

D7 UX guidelines suggest it shoudl be an action link, not a tab.

Not to split hairs, but I'm not sure how 'edit' or 'view' are any less of an action than 'clone'.

Perhaps the location of the link should depend on the configuration- if you are prepopulating an edit form, then the clone link should appear as a tab, whereas if you are immediately creating a new item, it should appear as an action link.

When you look at it that way, there's no reason you couldn't enable both at once- essentially making the 'method to use when cloning' config checkboxes instead of radio buttons.

If you want to provide a patch to add it to the node contextual links, I'd certainly consider that option, though that handles a different use case of cloning from a listing.

I sure could use some help getting a tab, an action link, anything to show up.

Edit: OK, I finally see the link, which appears below ALL of the comments posted to the content. Seriously? While I understand new standards, this one from a practical standpoint is downright stupid. If convert shows up in a tab, then so should clone. It needs to be obvious, and nested in with the other tabs that perform functions related to the content.

If it appears below the content, this suggests you have a broken or badly-upgraded custom theme.

Perhaps, but all the other tabs are still where one would expect to find them except this one.

Subscribe. This question made me wast a lot of time, trying to discover why I did not see the clone tab. At the end I discover the problem has to do with my template, which was not rendering the action links.

Should probably make it show as a contextual link too, but I rest upon:

merlinofchaos: In any case, 'clone' shouldn't be a tab.

Hi,

I wonder if this couldn't be done by adding a configuration option and let users choose how do they want to display that link?

If you'll accept this solution, I can implement it and send a patch.

I stand by my suggestion in #7, which is along those lines...

#1328682: Add a link to the contextual menu / or a tab for cloning the node
