Quick copy button for preview links

[ElizabethPace]

Hi.

Is it possible to have a quick copy button for preview links? Would save having to click and highlight the link and Ctrl C.

Something similar to YouTube or the 2 squares copy icon?

Thanks.

Could be worth looking at Clipboard js module and seeing if that template is modifiable.

Right clicking the link should get you the option to copy the link for now.

Hi @ElizabethPace.

Thanks for posting this issue, I think it's a great idea.

I'm going to create a patch for this for the main Drupal module rather than just LocalGov Drupal, so all users of the Preview Link module can benefit from it.

If it's accepted there, great. If not, I'll do a local version of it just for LGD.

Here's 2 screenshots of what I have worked out so far:

Hi Mark

This looks great. Thank you.

On the 'Preview link copied to clipboard' message, is it possible that the message is just shown for 5 seconds and then disappears (like on YouTube) so the user doesn't have to click 'OK'?

Here's the PR for this on Drupal.org - https://www.drupal.org/project/preview_link/issues/3449121

I've changed the working of it a little now, so when you click on "Copy link to clipboard", the text changes to "Copied!" for 2 seconds, then back to the default text.
