Answer 1

You need a way to identify if a post was cloned or not. To achieve this, you can add a field cloned_post_id to your posts table, then when you clone it, set the ID from the originating post.

Once you have this data, you can filter out the cloned posts in your register - the best way to achieve this is by adding a relation on the Post model, and check that it does not exist - but you can also check whereNull('cloned_post_id').

Clone the post,

public function clone($id)
{
    $post = Post::find($id);
    $newPost = $post->replicate();
    $newPost->cloned_post_id = $post->id;
    $newPost->updated_at = Carbon::now();
    $newPost->created_at = Carbon::now();
    $newPost->save();
}

Then in your Post model, add that relation,

public function clonedPost() 
{
    $this->belongsTo(Post::class, 'cloned_post_id');
}

Then in your register, check whereDoesntHave(), to exclude the posts that was cloned,

$posts = Post::whereDoesntHave('clonedPost')->get();
