Adding another location to folder content object

Hi!

I've asked the eZ-crew about this earlier.
"Add location" (the new location) shall not include the child objects. But, if you choose to move the object, all the children will be moved too.

I agree with you. "Add location" should also include child objects, would make everything much easier.

Btw. a question:
Shall an object which is added to another location use the main node section-design, or the section-design for the "added-location"? I experienced some problems with this earlier, but dunno if it's fixed.

I don't think that's the best idea for every site.

Let's say we have a page "Flash-course". This original course is in a main course-catalog with it's own design. Both the programming-faculty and the art-fac. have "Flash-course" in it's study-program, and they have their own pages/design, but shall refer to the original course in the main catalog, to avoid data-errors, and to many alike courses to update etc. for the editors.

*It shall be possible to view all courses in the main course-catalog with the catalog design, but every faculties shall also have the possibillity to make a "add location" at every course(from the catalog) into their own faculty-sites, which means they also want this course to appear within their own design.

Why not give the possibillity to set section ID on the "added-location" for the object?

Another problem is, that if the user is taken to the main node, the navigation path will be totally different, the user will be taken out of it's "surroundings", and will maybe have problems with navigating back to the pages were he searched for information.
