Help/CreatePagePlugin
Note: You are viewing an old revision of this page. View the current version.
The CreatePage plugin allows to easily create new pages, optionally with default content.
This allows you to create a page geting the new pagename from a forms-based interface, and optionally with the initial content from some template.
Put a <?plugin-form CreatePage ?> at some page, browse this page, enter the name of the page to create, then click the button.
Usage
<?plugin-form CreatePage ?> <?plugin-form CreatePage template=CategoryHomePage ?> <?plugin-form CreatePage template=SomeTemplatePage vars="year=2004&name=None" ?>
Arguments
Argument |
Description |
Default value |
|---|---|---|
s |
The pagename, which will passed to the plugin. |
|
initial_content |
The new page will be pre-filled with this content. |
|
template |
The new page will be pre-filled with the content of this page. |
|
vars |
Variables to be expanded. |
|
overwrite |
Whether to overwrite an existing page. |
Variable Expansion
The content (either initial_content or template) might hold some variables, which will be expanded on creation. Unassigned variables will stay as %%<var>%%, assigned variables without matching %%<var>%% placeholder will be ignored, without any warning.
A variable in a template is denoted as %%var%%, which will be expanded by the value of var given to the vars argument (in urlencoded php notation).
Some special variables are automatically assigned:
%%ctime%% |
$WikiTheme->formatDateTime(time()) |
%%author%% |
$user->getId() |
This forms together with page templates and the Help:WikiFormRichPlugin and optionally the Help:SqlResultPlugin a framework to create templated pages.
