Auto generate page name via admin and api

[Can]

Hola amigos,

I'm trying hard to auto generate page names for certain templates no matter if they're created using admin ui or api

tried various hooks I hacked myself and copied stuff from 

and kixes module module 

I tried the following in site/init.php

$wire->addHookBefore('Pages::setupNew', function(HookEvent $event) {
	$page = $event->arguments[0];

	// if($page->is('comment')) {
		$page->name = 'the-page-name-you-want';
	// }
});

$wire->addHookBefore('Pages::setupPageName', function(HookEvent $event) {
	$page = $event->arguments[0];

	// tried with and without template check
	if ($page->is('comment')) {
		$event->replace = true;
		$name = 'autoname';
		$event->return = $name;
	}
});

the second hook, if i get it right, might only fire via api if no name is provided (right?)

for the setupNew hook Ryan mentions "if the page doesn't have a name yet" but it seemed to work for netcarver..

what am I missing here?

And in this case I want to bypass the name form completely (I already stripped the title field on this template)..

UPDATE: so ___setupNew seems to work but wont bypass the page name form..so I have to provide a name, hit save and then on the page edit screen it changed to the one form the hook...how can I go straight to page edit screen after clicking on new page like when a name format is entered for children ProcessPageAdd::processQuickAdd?

On the parent page template, if you select a single allowed template for children and specify a "Name format for children" then the first step of the "Add New" page process should be skipped.

To set the name the core name format setting might be sufficient, or you have more options with kixe's module, or you can use your own hook:

$this->pages->addHookBefore('setupNew', function($event) {
    $page = $event->arguments('page');
    if($page->template == 'my_template') {
        $page->name = 'some-name';
    }
});
