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

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) ) <div class="hidden"> <input type="hidden" name="xredirect" value="$doc.getURL('view', "sheet=${escapetool.url($nameMan)}")" /> </div> {{/html}} {{/velocity}} ``` Test App.Code.Test App NameManager: ``` {{velocity}} #if ( $doc.name != 'Test App NameManager' ) #set ($renameRequest = $services.refactoring.createRenameRequest($doc.

'Now RENAMED')) #set ($discard = $renameRequest.setAutoRedirect(false)) $services.refactoring.rename($renameRequest)).join() #end {{/velocity}} ``` Thanks again, Dennis 2017-03-01 10:30 GMT+01:00 Marius Dumitru Florea < mariusdumitru.florea(a)xwiki.com&gt;gt;: > On Tue, Feb 28, 2017 at 3:03 PM, D R &lt;rir.ceg(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > > > Hi Marius, > > > > the refactoring approach sounds great but there seems to be something
