append page id to page name

[sanstraces]

hallo!

i'm new to processwire. i try to append the page id to the page name with a hook, when the page is added. so it looks like page-id.

i used addHookAfter('added') for this, but its not working.

public function hookAfterAdded($event)
{
	$page = $event->arguments[0];
	$page->name = $page->name .'-'. $page->id;
	$this->message('added '.$page->name);
}

 

 any idea to solve the problem! Thanks

I'm not familiar with hooks but if you want you can try the Setup Page Name module to do what you want.

I think the problem is that in the moment of adding the new page the ID ist not known yet.

So, the logical steps would be: add the page and then rename it. The issue has been discussed before.

Welcome @sanstraces

You need to save the page after you set the name.

public function hookAfterAdded($event)
{
    $page = $event->arguments[0];
    $page->name = $page->name .'-'. $page->id;
    $page->save();
    $this->message('added '.$page->name);
}

Normally the $page->setAndSave() method is useful in these situations, but there seems to be a bug when saving the page name.
