Suggestion : checkbox to disable "cloning" of paste for expiring pastes #34

Closed Draky50110 closed 9 years ago

Hello.

Just managed to convert a 0.19 to 0.21 :D

So a little suggestion : when I create an expiring paste, I don't see the interest of having a "clone" button. If I set up a limited time, it is not to permit people to replicate it lol So maybe an option (checkbox) to disable this clone button, but only when a limited time is choosen, which mean the checkbox will not be available if you choose "never expires". Not sure if possible.

Uuuh, anyway the clone button is just an "helper", because even if you don't display a clone button, when people see something, people can replicate something. Selecting and copying is just as easy as clicking "clone". But, yes, I never really got the point of the "Clone" button.

@Draky50110 Cool, great to hear that!

Sure, lets make it a configurable feature for the server admin. But I think its misleading to let visitors disable it, since they might think its a security feature, while the content can still be copied.

I think the original intent was that since you can't change the original text (say, you are exchanging a snippet of code with someone or a proposed text to be sent or published) then you would just clone it, change it and send the link back, etc.

I personally use it mostly as a replacement for a preview feature: If I did a mistake and my paste does not look like it should I can clone and change it again. Another ZeroBin user had recently mentioned the lack of a preview feature... I'm creating a separate issue for that.

Ok, I understand :)

To use this feature, go to section [expire] in conf.ini and set clone to false.
