create a new page from a template?
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.

You could use cloning:
http://localhost:8080/trivinwiki/Edit.jsp?page=MyNewPage&clone=NameOfTemplatePage

That particular snippet can be found in the HelloWorld or GroovyPlugin.
Almost all of the CeryleWikiPlugins are currently in one big jar file,
see
http://purl.org/ceryle/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=CeryleWikiPlugins
Bottom of the page lists the available distributions, the latest is
ceryle-wikiutil-src-1.0a12-20070216.jar.

Yes,
Here's some code for checking authentication:
protected boolean CHECK_AUTHENTICATION = true;
...
boolean authenticated = CHECK_AUTHENTICATION
? engine.getAuthorizationManager().isUserInRole(
context.getWikiSession(),Role.AUTHENTICATED)
: true;
You can adapt this as needed for different roles.

You could try using the "htmltext" parameter to initialize the editor
in case you're using e.g. FCK.

(Reviving an old thread)
We are using the "clone" feature described in this thread, but just realized
that it only works for the "plain" text editor, not the other ones. Is there
some way to either force the page to be saved before it is opened in the
editor, or to force the user to use the text editor just for that one page?
Some option on the URL, perhaps?

Bob,
In my previous reply* I provided a link to the NewPageHandler that is
part of the CeryleWikiPlugins.
http://purl.org/ceryle/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=CeryleWikiPlugins
This includes the NewPageHandler. The page on jspwiki.org is about
the outdated version that was part of the McKessonPlugins donated
by John Volkar to the CeryleWikiPlugins (as it states on that page in
an Information balloon). It's the same thing.

Dirk,
This is just what I was looking for.
Related question: I'm doing some other work with page variables, but it
appears the page variables are not evaluated when you clone a page. I see
how page cloning is implemented in the plain.jsp page; is there a simple
call I can make into the wiki engine to have it evaluate page variables on
the raw page?

Cloning is just build in the plain.jsp, it is not a plugin.
It was added with the inclusing of the BrushedTemplate.

Is cloning a new feature in JSPWiki, or a plugin? I'm using 2.6.3.

Good point! I need to add e permission check around the cloning
functionality (next commit)
Here is how you can do it yourself :
String clone = request.getParameter( "clone" );
if( clone != null )
{
WikiPage p = engine.getPage( clone );
if( p != null )
{
AuthorizationManager mgr = engine.getAuthorizationManager();
PagePermission pp = new PagePermission( p, PagePermission.VIEW_ACTION );
try
{
if( mgr.checkPermission( context.getWikiSession(), pp ) )
{
usertext = engine.getPureText( p );
}
}
catch( Exception e ) { /*log.error( "Accessing clone page
"+clone, e );*/ }
}
}

Re: create a new page from a template?

Thanks for the pointer; I will look at that.
As far as security, I can imagine someone might try to view a page they
otherwise don't have access to by creating a 'clone' of it (as Dirk
suggests; I like that terminology, BTW). But isn't it possible to check the
permissions for the original page within the plugin? I think I've seen that
in the code I've been looking at so far.

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.
