NewPage Module

The NewPage module makes it possible to create a page semi-automatically. This is a design sketch for an improved version of the module.
Current syntax
- Specify category for new page: category="category-name"
- Specify tags for new page: tags="list of tags"
- Specify parent for new page: parent="parent-fullname"
- Text to use on button: button="text string"
- Validation expression: format="regular expression"
- Static page template: template="list of page names""
Current page parent option
- Make the current page be the parent: parent="."
Added automation
- Automate new page creation: auto="automation"
- "no": takes you to editor where you can save or cancel
- "semi": saves page as specified then shows created page
- "full": saves page as specified then reloads current page
- For normal pages, default is "no".
- For pages with a form template, default is "full".
- Automate title formatting: title="format"
- %s inserts text provided by user
- E.g. title="Summary for %s region"
Added visualization
- Horizontal alignment: align="alignment"
- "left": left aligned (default)
- "center": center-aligned
- "right": right-aligned
- Visible width: width="pixels, ems, or percentage"
- Visible width in characters: size="count"
- Button position: layout="layout-style"
- "flat": button to right of input field
- "column": button below input field, aligned left/center/right
- Show a link, not an input field
- User will enter page title after clicking, not before
- text = "link text"
Multiple buttons
These let the user create page with different metadata from the same NewPage module.
- Additional buttons: [[button]] inside module body
- tags="tags to set"
- parent="parent for page"
- title="title format"
- If used, then default button is not shown
- Parent, tag and title settings in module act as defaults
Allow existing pages
This allows for create-or-goto scenarios - if the page already exists, the user goes there. We call this a "relaxed" NewPage:
- relaxed="true" - do not complain if page already exists, but just show it
Example
[[module NewPage parent="." size="40"]]
[[button text="Bug" tags="open _bug" ]]
[[button text="Wish" tags="open _wish" ]]
[[/module]]
