Add Canonical URL when Creating Page Programmatically

Permalink
I'm creating some pages programmatically with the following code, but I can't seem to find the correct reference for Canonical URL, or the page URL. I want to make it different than the title of the page.

Loader::model('collection_types');
$path = "/resources/newpage";
$newPage = Page::getByPath($path);
$data = array();
$data['cName'] = $title;
$data['cDescription'] = $title. " " .$date;
$data['cURL'] = $pageURL;
$ct = CollectionType::getByHandle('right_sidebar');
$newPage->add($ct, $data);


I thought it would be $data['cURL'] as shown above. But that doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

I think you want 'cHandle' (note that this must be a relative URL, for example "/about/people", not "http://example.com/about/people")

hi,

i setup a package with a template, blocks and a single page. everything works fine.

now i add the code above to the package controller, but i get an error.

Call to a member function getPackageID() on a non-object in F:\Server\xampp\htdocs\projekte\C5-Developer\concrete\models\page.php on line 1943

here is the code i add to the controller

Loader::model('collection_types');
      $path = "/";
      $pr = Page::getByPath($path);
      $data = array('cName'=>'Hallo Welt', 'cDescription'=>'Testet einfach drauf los', 'cHandle'=>'halle-welt');
      $ct = CollectionType::getByHandle('right_sidebar');
      $pr->add($ct, $data);


did i miss something?

thanks for your help

I don't see anything strange in the specific code snippet you posted -- can you please post the entire contents of your package's controller.php file (might be easiest to ZIP it and post that as an attachment)? I think the problem might be somewhere else in the file.

Also, are you getting this error when you try to install the package, or some other time (like when a page is viewed or edited)?

hi,

here is the controller.php ...

I only get this error on this controller.php file.
everything else work fine...

i test the getPackageID inside the controller with 
var_dump($pkgID);
var_dump($this->getPackageID);

and it returns NULL.

i think there is the problem

I think the problem may be this line:
BlockType::installBlockTypeFromPackage('autonav', $pkg);


The autonav block is already installed as part of the core C5 system -- you cannot have another block with the same name.

Is this just for some custom template files? If so, you don't need to do anything in the install function -- as long as they're in the proper place ( YOURSITE/packages/henrich_parkett_pack/blocks/autonav/templates/ ).

Or did you create another block called "autonav"? If so, you need to rename it.

hi,

the autonav is only for the custom template on a fresh installation of C5. I found the problem with the page installation. i forgot to install the page-type i want to use. but now i run into another problem.

mysql error: [1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'LIMIT 1' at line 1] in EXECUTE("select max(cDisplayOrder) from Pages where cParentID = LIMIT 1")


i love Concrete5 for this "learning by doing feature" ^^
