Can I expose the Title/Document Name as a field to be updated? -- View this message in context: http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/Change-Title-On-Save-tp7589667p7589708.htm... Sent from the XWiki- Dev mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Maybe if I explain in better detail. I am creating 3 forms. 1. Person 2. Department 3. Company

The idea is that there is a Person document for each company.

In the Company Form, there is a Department TextArea section. In that section would be links to various Department Forms.

In the Department Form, there is a Personnel TextArea section. In that section would be links to various Person Forms for people who work in that department.

I would like to standardize the forms to have a consistent document name and title. They would be: 1. Person - FirstName and LastName

In the title of your sheet: #set($obj = $doc.getObject('myClass'))$obj.display('firstName', 'view') $obj.display('lastName', 'view')

2. Department - Department Name

In the title of your sheet: #set($obj = $doc.getObject('myClass'))Department: $obj.display('departmentName', 'view')

3. Company - Company Name

In the title of your sheet: #set($obj = $doc.getObject('myClass'))Company: $obj.display('companyName', 'view') And please see: http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Sheet+Module for more informations about the Sheet system. I hope it helps, Louis-Marie

If you want to change the document name, it is more complicated, indeed. I think you should dig into the javascript area. 2014-03-20 14:07 GMT+01:00 DeHaynes <[email protected]>:

Thank you very much for your response. While this does change the Title that is displayed on the form, it doesn't change the name of the document. I researched and found the following command in the API.

$doc.rename($doc.display('departmentName'))

I need to figure out how to apply it just before a save event.

2 approaches: 1 (easy) - write a form with some fields that create a new document with a computed name. It will not rename the document if you change the fields afterwards, but depending on your use-case, it might be enough. 2 (more complex) - write a listener component that rename the document, if needed, every time a document is saved. It needs to be written in Groovy or in Java.

I thought so also, so I looked into the JavascriptExtension and put the following code into it.

document.observe("xwiki:actions:saved", function(event){ var doContinue = event.memo['continue']; if (doContinue) { alert('Saved It.'); } });

The alert did not fire when I clicked the saved button. So I moved the alert outside of the "If" block. It still did not fire.

While digging into this further, it occurred to me that I cannot just change the value of some "DocumentName" field on the form because the document document name is not on the form. So I would have to reach into the XWiki object model somehow. I could not find an example of that or an API listing. I decided to drop this researching the javascript solution because what I really want to happen is going to occur at the server, not the browser.

So I am not trying to figure out if there is another way to approach this. I would love to know your thoughts on my logic. That could help me determine which way is the correct way to accomplish this.

Thank you.
