[xwiki-users] Skip name dialog in App Within Minutes
Hello all, I've created an "App Within Minutes" and written some custom JavaScript to autofill the value of the popup dialog box (called "Entry Name") with a randomly generated UID.. Essentially what happens is I click the "Add New Entry" button and when the dialog pops up, it is autofilled with the UID from my client-side code. I'd like to skip the popup box entirely and just create the page directly off of the UID so the user is just taken to the form automatically, but the only thing I can think of is just hiding the dialog and pushing the button via JavaScript. Any other suggestions are certainly welcome, thx
Hi Jason, This is also something we’d like to support in the future, see http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7374 Thanks -Vincent On 16 Jul 2014 at 23:59:51, Jason Clemons ([email protected](mailto:[email protected])) wrote:

Hello, You could check the "Self renaming forms" extension [1], that would allow renaming your page using the uid from the autofilled field. [1] http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/Self-Renaming+Forms BR, Jeremie 2014-07-16 23:59 GMT+02:00 Jason Clemons <[email protected]>:

BTW, an alternative could be to use the modal box [1], to display your form in a modal pop-up (with autofilled field displayed or hidden), then create the page with the name you want upon submit. The server-side saving could be done with either velocity or groovy script. I think there is an extension doing that, but I can't find it ...

Thanks for the tips, I'll take a look at that tomorrow.

Thanks Vincent, I already created some client side code which creates a UID using a random number generator and a Unix timestamp then pre-populates the modal box before it appears, so that part of the code is already squared away...at this point it's a working solution, I was just trying to figure a way to prevent my users from having to click create, then add when they create a new page (e.g. Create the doc using only one click)...I'm gonna give it a go with more JavaScript tomorrow I think.

Hi Jason You also easily script jour own Burton using the document api and than redirection the user to the edit URL See the scripting reference documentation for the api http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/SRD/Navigation Ludovic Le 17 juil. 2014 10:23, "Jason Clemons" <[email protected]> a écrit :
