Move page in API

[MarkE]

I've googled a fair bit but can't find anywhere an API method to move a page to be under a new parent. Obviously this would have to handle naming conflicts. Is there one? Or a module? Or just a code snippet ? 

Thanks

Try this: 

$page = $pages->get('name=page-to-move');
$page->of(false);
$page->parent = $pages->get('name=new-parent');
$page->save();

Thanks - that's effectively what I was doing, except in a before Pages::save hook, thus:

$p = $event->arguments(0);
//..some code here ..//
$p->parent = pages()->get('/news/');
$event->arguments(0, $p);

It works fine so long as the name does not already exist under the new parent. I seem to recall that the core uses a routine to add -1, -2 etc. but I can't find it.

Had forgotten about it also!! Hope you are up to this version of PW:

Maybe this would work?

//In the context of the hook
$p->name = $this->pages->names->uniquePageName($this->sanitizer->pageName($p->title));

Thanks - that's what I was looking for. Here is my final code for the hook:

$p->name = $this->pages->names()->uniquePageName($p->name);
$p->parent = pages()->get('/news/');
$event->arguments(0, $p);

Works a treat!
