ProcessPageHidden and ProcessPagePublish

[geniestreiche]

A few days ago some of us discussed the philosophy behind the action links in the contao/pw-tree (http://processwire.c...-love-pws-tree/). Sometimes i found it useful in contao to have a shortlink to publish/unpublish a page. So i came up with the idea to make a module for this task.

I wouldn't call me a programmer so i take the code from ryan's pageprocessclone (http://modules.proce...ess-page-clone/) an nico's pageprocessdelete (http://modules.proce...ss-page-delete/) as a starting point. thank you for your great work.

Both modules adding a link to the page list.

ProcessPageHidden adding a "hidden" link to the list and changes the status of a page to hidden/unhidden.

ProcessPagePublish adding a "publish" link to the list and changes the status of a page to publish/unpublish.

Maybe someone would find it useful too and there are not so much bugs in the code.

Looks good, thanks for your module submissions geniestreiche.

Hi geniestreiche,

Thanks for these modules.

I was wondering if it would be better to toggle the pageListActionLabel labels depending on the status of that page. So, show label "hide" if page is not hidden and show "unhide" if page is hidden. Same for the published status, i.e. show "publish" if page is not published and "unpublish" if page is published. Visually, this makes more sense to me. I am no coder but I've made quick dirty hacks in local copies of the module to do just this. See attachment. I'm sure your code will be cleaner than mine .

Many thanks.

Cheers

hi kongondo,

yes your suggestion make sense. first i thought the changes on the page title were enough (color, line-through). but maybe the toggle of the label is one step smarter  .

i updated the repos on github. i don't know whether the code changes are efficent than i am not a coder too  .

greetings...

Brilliant! Thanks Jens

Dankeschön!

I just added the line

$page->status = Page::statusHidden;

to the ___install() method of the plugin. This prevents the page from being displayed in the sub menu of the Pages item of the editors main menu.

I'm using ProcessWire v2.6.1.

The latest version of PW has built-in hide/unhide and pub/unpub action buttons, so I don't actually think there is a need for this module anymore.
