Re: [xwiki-users] Error in creating a blog article
Indeed. You can create blog titles as long as you wish them to be, but the
best is to avoid any character outside aA - zZ 0 - 9.
If you use spaces in your titles they will generate URLs such as
xwiki/bin/view/Blog/My+New+Blog+Article. The best way to keep URLs clean is
to ask your users to write MyNewBlogArticle as their title, and then change
it to something nicer.
One thing I find weird is that usually a js function is called to clean the
name of a page before the page is created to help prevent such problems as
the one you encountered... Can you check whether new blog posts name go
through the xwiki updateName() jc function ? Your life would get much easier
if they did, as in :
form action= id=newblogarticle method=post
input type=hidden name=template value=Blog.ArticleClassTemplate/
input type=hidden name=sheet value=1/
Article Name : input type=text size=40 name=articlename value=Your
blog article/
#NOTE HOW updateName() IS USED BELOW
input type=button value=Add this blog article onclick='if (updateName(
this.form.articlename)) {this.form.action=../../inline/ +
this.form.space.value + / + this.form.articlename.value; this.form.submit();
}'/
/form
Hope this helps,

Re: [xwiki-users] Error in creating a blog article
Thank you so much, for your explanation and for advice about naming
articles - it is all very clear now.
Unfortunately, I couldn't find the code you referred to, on the
SubmitArticle page I found:
1 Submit New Article
form method=post action=$doc.getURL(view, xpage=create)
onsubmit=cancelCancelEdit()
div class=plainmessage
input type=hidden name=tocreate value=post/
$msg.get(posttitle): input type=text name=title/
input type=submit class=button value=$msg.get(create)/
/div
/form
Should I have looked at another place?
