Making a copy of activity module.

Hello, I'm working in version 1.7. My question is:

I have an activity module in my course. I can move it from one week to another. But how can I copy it to another week. There does not seem to be an option for this. Is it possible?

Hello

There is a way to do this - you have to go as if to edit the activity, then where it says "update" in the address bar, change this to "duplicate" - so

/course/mod.php?update=543&return=true&sesskey=afR96GflDE

becomes

/course/mod.php?duplicate=543&return=true&sesskey=afR96GflDE

then press return, and "Updating [activity] in Topic [n]" will become "Duplicating [activity] in Topic [n]", click on "save changes and you have your activity copy which you can then move to the topic of your choice.

Hi James,

very interesting hidden feature. I made some tests and it worked sometimes. But I saw also that in 1.9 I get an 'Invalid operation' message.

Does anybody know, where this feature is available and where not?
