在不同子站点（SharePoint）中的文档库之间复制Word文档

Question

What is the best (subjective.. I know. Sorry!) method for prompting a user to copy an instance of a document in my library to a library in his own site (on the same site collection, if that matters)? I am an administrator with a few word documents that I create too frequently to set specific content types for. So I have created a library that contains a few word templates for them to copy over (most importantly: metadata included except for the modified/created fields).

I have tried a few javascript/jquery methods that I'd put on the display form with a text box allowing them to enter their library url and how many copies they'd like to make, but that doesn't seem to work as I'd like. What would be the most efficient way of accomplishing this? Using an event handler? If so, is there any way to associate one of these with a custom button on the ribbon (I've only associated these buttons for js functions)?

Example of the javascript function I was trying to use:

function copyItem() {
    var itemurl = $("#copyFrom").val();
    var dst = $("#copyTo").val();

    $().SPServices({
        operation: "GetItem",
        Url: itemurl,
        async: false,
        completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
            itemstream = $(xData.responseXML).find("Stream").text();
            itemfields = "";
            $(xData.responseXML).find("FieldInformation").each(function(){
                itemfields+=$(this).get(0).xml;
            });;

        }
    });

    $().SPServices({
        operation: "CopyIntoItems",
        SourceUrl: itemurl,
        async: false,
        DestinationUrls: [dst],
        Stream: itemstream,
        Fields:itemfields,
        completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
            var error = $(xData.responseXML).find("CopyResult").first().attr("ErrorCode");
        }
    }
}

called by:

  <label>from:</label><input type="text" value="" id="copyFrom" maxlength="255">
    <label>to:</label><input type="text" value="" id="copyTo" maxlength="255">
    <input type="button" onclick="copyItem();" value="Copy">

note: I am not entering any values into these text boxes right now as I'm manually entering them into itemurl and dst. But the console says:

The value of the property 'copyItem' is null or undefined, not a Function object.

It's not recommended to use "async:false". It's better to do an asynchronous call and insert your second SPServices into the first one.

Also a close parenthesis is missing for your second SPServices .

And finally, the "Fields" must be an array ( http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/copy.copy.copyintoitems.aspx ).

I tried the below code and it worked for me:

var srcurl="http://my.sharepoint.com/aymeric_lab/Shared%20Documents/879258.jpeg";
var desturl="http://my.sharepoint.com/aymeric_lab/Shared%20Documents/879258_copy.jpeg";
$().SPServices({
  operation: "GetItem",
  Url: srcurl,
  completefunc: function (xData, Status) {
    var itemstream = $(xData.responseXML).find("Stream").text();
    var itemfields = [];
    $(xData.responseXML).find("FieldInformation").each(function(){
      itemfields.push($(this).get(0).xml);
    });

    $().SPServices({
      operation: "CopyIntoItems",
      SourceUrl: srcurl,
      DestinationUrls: [ desturl ],
      Stream: itemstream,
      Fields:itemfields,
      completefunc: function (xData, Status) {

      }
    })
  }
});
