Help:WikiPlugin to easily create new pages, optionally with default content. Since v1.3.8
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" ?>
Plugin Arguments
| s: | The pagename, which will passed to the plugin. Default: "" |
|---|---|
| initial_content: | The new page will be pre-filled with this content. Default: "" |
| template: | The new page will be pre-filled with the content of this page. Default: "" |
| vars: | variables to be expanded. Default: "" |
| overwrite: | Whether to overwrite an existing page. Default: "" |
Known Problems
None
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 PhpWiki:WikiFormRichPlugin and
optionally the PhpWiki:SqlResultPlugin a framework to create templated pages.
