Jann,
Is there some way to create a new page from a template? I've discovered how
to set a small amount of text in the new page by appending it to the URL,
but a more versatile approach would be great.
I'm thinking something like
http://localhost:8080/trivinwiki/Edit.jsp?page=MyNewPage&template=NameOfTemplatePage
Could page filters do the trick? Are page filters called before the editor
is displayed for new pages? Then I could look for some parameter on the URL
to determine which page I should return as the template.
I tried stepping through the debugger and it doesn't look like filters can
be used in this way, but I thought I'd ask.
Bob,
Check out the NewPageHandler, part of the FormPlugin:
http://www.altheim.com/ceryle/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=FormPlugin
javadoc:
http://www.altheim.com/ceryle/api/org/ceryle/wiki/handler/NewPageHandler.html
Even if you don't use the form you can likely use the handler (it is
itself a WikiPlugin).
I think you've already mentioned this, but permitting users to
programmatically create pages could be a security nightmare.
