It will be better if it has more properties.
I think it will be better if this module has more properties to config New Page.
Such as
- parent - set page who is it parent page
- block - set this page block or not?

This is the discussion related to the wiki page NewPage module.
I agree with xenogew. This is what I'd like to see:
When user click in "new page" button, he should be able to
- choose category or add new category
- if new category is added, then automatically create:
- * an index page for that category (I use category "index", as in "index:literature")
- * a content page
- If new page is content page, then define parent page
Very good that you thought at giving the user a choice of templates. But :
It seems to me that categories & templates often are related arguments : I mean that a categorie often has a template, and a template is often used to prototype a caztegory of pages. So that there may be a list of (category:template) pairs, rather that templates alone.
What about that.
I would also like an attribute for setting default tags for a new page.
An Innovator at heart.
An undocumented feature of the newpage module is that you can set tags to new pages:
[[module NewPage tags="food computers friends internet"]]
Each tag is separated by a space.
I don't know why Wikidot failed to document such a useful feature?

A newpage created under the control of the "autonumbering" feature - setup in the Site manager for the wanted category - is overwritten by the next free number…
I think, this should better be documented here to make clear what can happen.

Using the NewPage module, from within a _template, to 'dynamically' insert the Parent attribute?
Is there anyway to dynamically set the Parent attribute when using the NewPage Module from within a Live _template?
The Use Case is:
Creating pages for (Music) Track listings that belong to a Band name. There will be many bands.
The process I thought would work hit a problem with not being able to dynamically append a value to the Parent attribute, both with NewPage and ListPage modules.
The work flow so far:
- A separate page with NewPage module is used to create a page in the Band Category.
- Once this new page has been created (used to enter the Band's basic details), the another NewPage is used within 'bands:_template' add Tracks to the Band.
- band:<bandname> is then used to present a listing of a Band's Tracks and enable users to enter in more Track names.
Below is the code for 'band:_template'.
Inline Comments show where I need a dynamic Parent attribute.
Or is there another way to achieve this relationship of Tracks to Brands? I'm hoping there is a trick with the @URL handler. Also, Tags are not suitable for this as they wont allow for spaces within the name of Bands or Tracks.
Thanks in advance.
