Introduction
A drop in package for Plone that improves the copy and paste operation
of folder structures. Reference fields (e.g. relatedItems) and UID
inline links in text fields are rewritten if they reference any of the
content within the folder structure being copied so that they now link
to the copied content.
Development
the buildout in this package will create a test stub which can be run
with::
./bin/test -s collective.updatelinksoncopy
See the doctests for more information of what this package does.
Edit buildout.cfg to point to either buildouts/buildout-plone3.cfg
or buildouts/buildout-plone4.cfg
. Don't forget to rerun
bootstrap.py with python2.4 or python2.6 for plone 3 and plone 4
respectively.

Installation
This package requires Plone 3.x or later (tested on 3.3.x).
If you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe
to manage your project, you can add collective.updatelinksoncopy
to the list of eggs to install, e.g.::
[buildout]
...
eggs =
...
collective.updatelinksoncopy
(If you are working with a version of Plone < 3.3 then you'll also
need to install a ZCML slug.)
