Name format for children for multiple allowed templates for children

[Lars282]

How can I enable to name format for children option when allowing multiple templates for children? In other words, where is it best to hook into?

I am already hooking before setupPageName to derive my custom page names:

addHookBefore('Pages::setupPageName', $this, 'deriveCustomPageName')

But there is something before that is responsible for "jumping" the name entry screen.

I found processQuickAdd in the ProcessPageAdd module, but it is called from the ___execute() function - so I can't see how to easily change the conditions on when it shall be called without having a module more or less replace the entire core ProcessPageAdd module, which seems over the top ...

Thanks a lot!

@kixe: Why did this module not make it to the module directory?

[kixe]

I made it today. I would like to see it in core.   If it will not find the way in the core I will load it up to the modules directory.

[Ivan Gretsky]

Sure! I agree this type of thing should be in the core. Did you make an issue or a pull request on github? I think this way we will have more chance.

I am thinking about resp. working on a version which allows multiple values too, something like

• Setting: date(Y), parent.name, id
• Result: /myparent/2015-myparent-5067/

This is a bit tricky since some values are provided in the moment when page will be created, some after. I'll keep you informed about how it is going on. If it is working well I will do the PR.
