BFD Calendar Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Apparently there are some changes in Processwire 2.5 when new pages are added. When adding a page with a title that already exists, Processwire automatically changes the page name to 'pagename1'. Before, Processwire would tell me that the title/name already existed and forced to use an other name. For my website the new behaviour is rather awkward. When I add a new 'place', say 'Processtown, Wirestate, Forumland' to the already 2000 present, Processwire will add a new page, which I don't want. So now when I want to add a new place I have to check before if it already exists. Worse is when I add a new 'event', say '30 September 2014'. When it already exists, Processwire will add a page '30-september-2015', which is not what I want. Processwire warns me that a different pagename was used, but still it's confusing and could easily lead to unwanted errors. Perhaps it's possible to change this setting somewhere I don't know of.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kongondo Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Yes...https://processwire.com/blog/posts/processwire-2.5-changelog/#adding-pages I agree with you. Maybe this should be made configurable (if it isn't already)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan Gretsky Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 +1 for making it configurable. I personally feel better if not "1" but "-1", "-001" or even "-{$page->id}" gets added. Same for the 1 step page adding functionality. I think it worth putting into roadmap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
