Hi,
In an XWiki Application I created I want to make sure documents created
within it get named in a specific pattern from the fields filled inside
them.
Currently I use a custom button to redirect the user to a new document with
a dummy name so he doesn't need to fill the name (that should get
overwritten anyway on saving) but only the relevant fields.
Something like
#set ( $createDocLink = $xwiki.getURL($document, 'inline',
"template=${escapetool.url($urlTemplate)}&parent=${escapetool.url($urlParent)}&title=${escapetool.url($urlTitle)}")
)
This leads to a new document as defined in the application sheet with the
name 'New document'.
Now I want the user to fill 3 fields ('freetext1', 'freetext2',
'dropdown1'), click 'Save & View' or a custom button. Then the
document
should be saved as '<freetext1> - <freetext2> (<dropdown1>)' and
the user
should be redirected to that page in view mode.
I've tried different approaches including a temporary creation page with
the 3 fields as HTML input fields (can't use the applications dropdown),
event listeners (the redirect after saving doesn't work) ...
Additionally the same must be done when a page is edited (one of the 3
fields is changed).
Please help me find a sane approach before I bite the table.

Hi Dennis,
A relatively simple solution is the following:
(1) modify the application sheet to include the following HTML at the end:
<div class="hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="xredirect"
value="$doc.getURL('view',
'sheet=Path.To.NameManager')" />
</div>
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

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 = $doc.use('Test App.Code.Test AppClass'))
(% class="xform" %)
(((
[FORM CONTENT]
)))
<div class="hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="xredirect"
value="$doc.getURL('view',
"sheet=${escapetool.url('Test App.Code.Test App NameManager')}")"
/>
</div>
{{/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

i.e. is the "Test App NameManager" sheet executed?

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.documentReference, 'Now
RENAMED'))
#set ($discard = $renameRequest.setAutoRedirect(false))
$services.refactoring.rename($renameRequest)).join()
#end

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:
```
<div class="hidden">
<input type="hidden" name="xredirect"
value="$doc.space" />
</div>
```
Could you please help me how proceed further?

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'))

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.
documentReference,
'Now RENAMED'))
#set ($discard = $renameRequest.setAutoRedirect(false))
$services.refactoring.rename($renameRequest)).join()
#end
{{/velocity}}
```
Thanks again,
Dennis
