[xwiki-users] New blog entry overwrites old
I noticed that if I create a new blog entry with the same title as an existing entry in that same category the old one will be wiped out. Is this expected behavior or a bug? Using xwiki 2.04. daniel -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/New-blog-entry-overwrites-old-tp4475221p4475221.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Hello, I just tested what you said, and in xwiki2.1.1 the behaviour described by you did not replicate. i created a test page and then tried several times to create another test page, but i kept getting the message "page already exists" may it be possible that you deleted the article in the first place, and it somehow got stuck in the cache of the browser? try restarting the server, cleaning browser caches . -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/New-blog-entry-overwrites-old-tp4475221p4512334.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
Indeed, I just tried in 2.2M2 and it tells you the document exists. in 2.04 I did not delete the older post, it got overwritten so now I had 2 posts with the exact same title and content in the News category, it's still here in our wiki. And I actually updated the first post which updated both posts! They are identical, same date, title and content. The solution to tell user that document already exist is not very good. In time you may have hundreds of blog entries in one category, making it pretty hard to keep titles unique. In our case we wanted to use it to post what testing is to be done for the week. So each week you want to post an entry such as "Weekly testing". It'll be hard to come up with unique variants to that every week! -- View this message in context: http://n2.nabble.com/New-blog-entry-overwrites-old-tp4475221p4514645.html Sent from the XWiki- Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

You can modify the article creation form to add something like: $xwiki.getUniquePageName($space, $input) see http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/download/DevGuide/API/xwiki%2Dcore%2D2.1... details. Sergiu, I'm starting to think we could add this to most of the creation forms to avoid duplicates, WDYT? I'm increasingly doing it for apps I write on my projects (almost all the time now). Guillaume

I'm not quite fond of this idea, but something more complex would work. If the page already exists, offer a few options: - link to the page so that the user can go to it and edit it instead of creating a new page - let the user type another page name - use getUniquePageName, which appends a number at the end - append the current date at the end -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

I like these ideas a lot. Having encountered this issue a number of times in my projects, these options would be nice to have.
