Skip the Page Add step and autogenerate page name AND title

[a-ok]

Is it possible to skip the Page Add step when creating a child page that fills in both the title and name? I've used the template specific setting https://processwire.com/docs/modules/guides/process-template/ but this still requires the user to set a title.

Any thoughts? I thought about using a hook https://processwire.com/talk/topic/13058-set-page-title-automatically/ but this doesn't skip the Page Add step.

You can set the title and name after the page was added:

// site/ready.php
$this->addHookAfter("Pages::added(template=yourtemplate)", function($event) {
  $page = $event->arguments(0);
  $page->setAndSave('title', 'foo');
  $page->setAndSave('name', 'foo');
});

You might want to make sure that the name is uniqe (https://processwire.com/api/ref/pages-names/unique-page-name/)

Do you know if this skips the Page Add step?

Just tried it! Works! Thank you!

Including the template in the hook method... is this a new thing?

The page add step is skipped because of your settings that you linked to above.
