The value of the xredirect field must be an URL, see my first reply. And
you need XWiki 8.4+

Hope this helps,

2017-03-09 Thread D R 
Hi,

After being sick and busy with other things I checked again and found out
that the xredirect does not work so the NameManager is not executed.

Even the following in the application sheet does not do any redirect when
pressing Save and View button of an application document:

```

  


```

Could you please help me how proceed further?

Thanks, Dennis

Re: [xwiki-users] New page name from app fields

2017-03-01 Thread D R 
Hi Marius,

thanks, I'm one step further now, at least the NameManager now does
renaming in general (it renamed itself until I added an #if clause to not
do so).

I wanted to implement it step by step so I didn't add the redirect yet.

But the sheet is not executed when editing application entries.

Meanwhile I have the following.

Test App.Code.Test AppSheet:

```
[...]
#set( $nameManRef = $services.model.createDocumentReference('', ['Test
App', 'Code'], 'Test App NameManager') )
#set( $nameMan = $xwiki.getDocument($nameManRef) )


  


{{/html}}
{{/velocity}}

```

Test App.Code.Test App NameManager:

```
{{velocity}}
#if ( $doc.name != 'Test App NameManager' )
  #set ($renameRequest =
$services.refactoring.createRenameRequest($doc.documentReference, 'Now
RENAMED'))
  #set ($discard = $renameRequest.setAutoRedirect(false))
  $services.refactoring.rename($renameRequest)).join()
#end
{{/velocity}}

```

Thanks again,
Dennis

As per
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Refactoring+Module#HScriptService
the first parameter passed to createRenameRequest must be an
EntityReference. In your case you can pass:

* either the reference of the current document, i.e. $doc.documentReference
, if the document is terminal (its name != 'WebHome')
* or the reference of the current space, i.e. $doc.documentReference.parent
, if the document is not terminal (its name is 'WebHome')

I don't see any redirect in "Test App NameManager" so it's normal you stay
on the same page, but do you have the sheet parameter in the query string?
i.e. is the "Test App NameManager" sheet executed?

Re: [xwiki-users] New page name from app fields

2017-02-28 Thread D R 
Hi Marius,

the refactoring approach sounds great but there seems to be something I do
wrong because the renaming doesn't work. Maybe I misunderstood the term
"current document" but I'm not sure.

I created "Test App.Code.Test App NameManager" with the following content:

```
{{velocity}}
#set ($renameRequest =
$services.refactoring.createRenameRequest($doc.fullName, 'Now RENAMED'))
#set ($discard = $renameRequest.setAutoRedirect(false))
$services.refactoring.rename($renameRequest)).join()
{{/velocity}}

```

Then I put your DIV at the end of my app sheet:

```
{{velocity}}
{{html wiki="true"}}
#set ($discard = $doc.use('Test App.Code.Test AppClass'))
(% class="xform" %)
(((
   [FORM CONTENT]
)))


  


{{/html}}
{{/velocity}}

```

Then I opened up one of the application entries, edited it and hit "Save
and view" but the name didn't change.

Could you please tell me what I did wrong.

Thanks in advance,
Dennis

Re: [xwiki-users] New page name from app fields

2017-02-28 Thread Marius Dumitru Florea 
Hi Dennis,

A relatively simple solution is the following:

(1) modify the application sheet to include the following HTML at the end:


  


The result is that whenever you create a new application entry or when you
edit an existing application entry, after you click "Save and view" you
will be taken to the view mode with ?sheet=Path.To.NameManager in the URL
query string, which means the Path.To.NameManager sheet will be applied to
the saved document.

(2) Create the Path.To.NameManager page that determines the right name for
the current document (based on its fields) and renames the current document
if needed ( using the refactoring API
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Refactoring+Module ),
finally redirecting to the view mode of the renamed document.

The problem with this solution is that it doesn't work if you use Save &
Continue and then Cancel (I think, to be checked).

Another option, more complex, is to write an event listener that catches
the document save event and renames the document if needed based on its
fields. The bad part with this is that the user is still not redirected
when using Save & Continue.

Hope this helps,
Marius
