Re: Copy branch of Tree to another parent

I guess nobody know of an easy way to do this?
nobody has ever written a routine to do this?
Last hope before I dive into this....
Thanks

Sorry, if my question was not clear.

I want to "copy" the entire branch to another location.  So, if I want to copy a branch that has 5 children,
then I need to create the new parent node first, then once I have this ID, I can then create the 5 children nodes.
That is a fairly easy example.  But what about a branch that has 4 levels and 5 nodes? 

Is seems like I have to walk the original tree and create each node, then sub-node, then leaf, etc, etc.
Anyone done this before? Any suggestions?

Example - Before Copy
Root
|--Node1
|    |-- Node2
|    |-- Node3
|          |--Node4
|                |--Node5
|--Node6
     |--Node7

After Copy
Root
|--Node1
|    |-- Node2
|    |-- Node3
|          |--Node4
|                |--Node5
|--Node6
     |--Node7
          |--Node1
               |-- Node2
               |-- Node3
                     |--Node4
                           |--Node5

Surely you can just change the parent_id of the top of the branch you want to move? Then let the Tree behaviour take care of the rest.

Hi,
    I am using the tree behavior for one of my models, and I want to
copy a branch of a tree, with all the sub-branches, leafs etc to another
parent.
It looks like I am going to have to get a list of the children of the
copy from node, and then do a save for each new node.
would it work to do a find('threaded')  clear out all the parent_ids,
set the top node parent_id to the new parent_id, and do a save()?

Is there another way to do this?

Thanks,
bill
