Crete page button in dashboard Code

Permalink 2 users found helpful
Hi Team

I would like some help, I am building a add-on with a dashboard page.

Now what I need to do is have the user select a page to link to.. No problem all done, What I would also like is a button above that to create a page.With a fixed page type and location with a popup box like the sub page button does in edit mode. Which you have to fill out the pages set attributes?
i have

<?php function AddingDomainPage()  
   { 
   $pData = array('uID' => 12, 'pkgID' => 0, 'cName' => 'Test Five Page', 'cHandle' => 'testfive', 'cDatePublic' => '2011-03-01');
$oPage = Page::getByPath('/more-domains');
$ct = CollectionType::getByHandle('DomainPage');
$newPage = $oPage->add($ct, $pData); 
}
?>
&
<div class="CreatePage">
   Create A domain Page  .<input type="button" value="CreatePage" onclick="AddingDomainPage()" /><br/>
   <div class="clearfix">



But does not work I guess i need to load some helpers also?
Any Advise would be nice Thanks

I think hereNT's page manager addon (just released) does that.

Hi John

Thanks to your response, But this add-on is a bit to over the top and for what I need.

I don't so much need to manage the page its self ummmm. this would be helpful I guess once for management after they are added.

I have an add-on already purchased from the market place which manages muti-domains on 1 concrete 5 install. Now in the manage page in the dashboard, I have modified the edit and view to include a create page button, I just need to know what the code is I need this button to run, also I am guessing in order to use the some pop- ups as the add sub-page it would be ideal to load a some of the assets of library to help?

So I guess what I need is the code and dependences for creating the page. Also would be very useful now i think about it to have in the edit options a way to see the linked page details also... ( ill work on that next).

I did ask the mod designer but this is an extra feature I want which he does not support as part of the add-on.

Thanks for any help

To create a page:

$page = Page::add(CollectionType $pageType, $data);
$page->addBlock(BlockType $bt, Area $a, $data);


from
http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/developers/pages/overview...
There are more details about the parameters on the docs page.

You could also probably dig out big chunks of useful code from Composer.

Hi Their

Thanks for the help, I got it all working with the below code, no problems. Just one more question, I have assigned extra page properties as default to a pages types, so that when created it has the boxes added.

I am a little confused how to assign my form inputs to these fields on creation also? as "akID[2]" comes up as their ids but I cant use this code to set the on creation? I guess these attributes are a little more complex to assign.

I have created a Domain_Price attribute for each page how do I set this on creation based on a form field any ideas?

Basic code to create a page using a form.

add_page_form.php
<?php  defined('C5_EXECUTE') or die(_("Access Denied."));
Loader::model('mapping', 'multiple_domains');
$form = Loader::helper("form");
$ps = Loader::helper('form/page_selector');
$ih = Loader::helper("concrete/interface");
//<!-- carl -->
$pagename = "";
if(isset($_POST['submitpage'])) {
Create_me_a_page();
}
function Create_me_a_page() {
    if (empty($_POST["pagename"])) {
echo "<div class='alert alert-error'>please enter a page name to corrispond with the domain</div>";
       } else {
$parentPage = Page::getByPath("/domain-names");

include code
<?php  Loader::packageElement("dashboard/add_page_form", "multiple_domains" ) ?>


Thanks for any help
