The_4wd_Zone Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Hi all, I've just installed 5.2.16 and I've set up most things and I'm in the process of adding new products to the shop. Alot of the items im selling share common aspects with a few differences so its much quicker to cut and paste text and modify a few lines than type it out all the time as you can all imagine. For some reason I am unable to cut from one product to another. I have also tried pasting in word and using the cut and paste from word function but that wont work either. The small dialog box comes up requesting permission to access the clipboard and I allow access but I still cant get anything to paste into the text box. Is this a cubecart thing or a problem with windows. Im running windows 8 and have tried in internet explorer and google chrome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 I have cut/pasted from one Description box into another Description box plenty of times. (But not with CC5216, specifically.) So I will have to conclude it could be a setting in your browsers. Please try a friend's computer who has Windows XP or Windows 7 and Firefox. I have not seen any code in CubeCart that throws the error wanting permission to access the clipboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_4wd_Zone Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 Hi there, yeah, I didn't think it was likely to be cubecart itself, I used to do it all the time but on the new computer with windows 8 it seems to not like doing it. I'll try firefox and see what happens, im guessing its a problem with the windows 8 firewall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 An Internet search on access clipboard permission gives some links to discussions about the issue. Which made me realize that the rich text editor, CKEditor, shows the javascript-powered Description text edit window, and I have not explored that code.

The_4wd_Zone Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 I downloaded Firefox and am managing the store through that browser and the copy and paste function is working fine, im more than happy to just continue using firefox. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One quick sidenote to this and one that affects a lot of stores that sell a range of very similar items, copying and pasting product descriptions or any other text to multiple pages is likely to be penalised by Google for duplicate content. However, finding a different way to describe your twentieth similar product in a completely different way is difficult and the reason the rankings of so many stores (and therefore their sales) have dropped a lot over the last 12 to 18 months. Using product options if at all possible prevents this and also improves the user experience so should always be used if at all possible. After that, there are a range of things that can be done to help Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piccolina Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 ...have you tried the "clone product" feature? I use it a lot. Works well. Geoff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
