repeater block/page title

[elvina]

Hi,

I have a repeater on a page. It is a committe with different sections, so I have each section as a repeating block containing another repeater with the members.

eg.

1. Block: title="Presidency", contains Ms J. Smith - President, Mr J. Brown - Treasurer etc 
2. Block: title="Executive Committee" contains other members.

This all works fine, but when I edit in the front end, the Block editor comes up with my repeater field but says "editing block 21245454354" and opens saying "editing page 21245454354".

I can see these are the page titles in the admin, but is there a way to have these pages named as the title of that block? 

thanks

That is your "block editor"? Do you mean PageFrontEdit from the core?

OK, I had to fiddle with getting the right hooks. As the page is made before the title field is entered in the repeater.

So this renames the repeater page with the field title and the year field of the original page holding the repeater.

$wire->addHookBefore('Pages::save', function(HookEvent $event) {
    $page = $event->arguments(0);
       
    if($page->template->name == 'repeater_committee_section') {
        $title = $page->field_title;
        $year=date('Y', $page->getForpage()->starts);
        if (!empty($title)) {
            $page->name = $page->field_title . "-" . $year;
        }
    }
});
