May be interesting for @RomanSyroeshko ?

If I remember right, @ivanlanin merged the existing implementation of the cloneBlock method into the stream.

As for me, I don't like the idea of cloneBlock and cloneRow methods at all. It's just a temporary solution. The more we add temporary solutions the more we go far away from product solution.

[ivanlanin]

I agree that those methods are temporary solutions. We should find time to redesign the template processor. The problem is, this is one of the most used/wanted functionality of PHPWord. People won't stop adding their suggested changes based on their needs :)

So, we came to the situation when we need some kind of product development roadmap. Otherwise we will waste lot of time on clarifying the same things to different people. :)

[ivanlanin]

You're right. I'll find some reference. Do you have any samples of that kind of roadmap?

[ghost]

Nope. It's just a plan. I guess a simple list of a mid- and long-term changes will be enough for now. For example, "in the next 3 months we plan to do this, to fix that, and whatever". At least this stuff will give our users an overview of upcoming features and the direction of the product evolution. Now people do not see where the product goes. What about us? Do we know? :)

[ivanlanin]

Nope. We don't know either :D

@Progi1984 Can we activate the wiki to put our thoughts together?

[Progi1984]

@ivanlanin Done ;)

[ivanlanin]

Thanks! I'll start writing ASAP.

Hello, thanks for this, but I would like ask something about.
I'm using your code to clone the block, but if I try after to edit the content, this is not working, because 2 possible reason:
-the document is not well formatted
-some problem with zip() close in line 160.
Do you have any idea why? Thank you so much anyway, very useful.

[jeje-50]

Hello,

If you have some code and an sample file i can look your problem

:)

[Federica92]

Thank you so much for the reply : ) I figured out the problem, just a second ago.
I create a new template.doc, and from that point, everything started to work again! So I guess that the template was only in the properly format.
Thank you a mil anyway!
Very very useful

Hi guys, I wanna know how I can modify the function codeBlock or where can I do that? I'm working with slim framework and for the installation of libraries it uses composer.

@ispippen composer stores all installed code in ./vendor . You can find that function inside ./vendor/phpoffice/phpword/src/PhpWord/TemplateProcessor.php
Have a look at my code that also features the var#1 and var#2 when you clone blocks (and works in PHP7) https://github.com/FBnil/PHPWord/blob/FBnil-patch-blocks/src/PhpWord/TemplateProcessor.php
