The {create-page} macro asks the user for the name of the page and then creates it based on a template...
The macro creates a link which, when clicked, asks the user for the title of the new page:
The new page is then created, based on the template specified, completely bypassing the usual "Add page" screen.
This is especially useful when working with Scaffold Templates because the user is taken directly to the editable view of the page - they can immediately fill in the fields provided by the template.
Parameters:
The parameters for create-link are as shown below
{create-page:parent=pagename|boilerplate=myboilerplate|template=mytemplate|prefix=before|postfix=after|addspace=false|space=myspacekey|prompt=Please enter the new page name}link text{create-page}
Parameter
Required
Default
Notes
parent
@self
By default, the created page will use the current page as it's parent. However, you can specify a parent page as follows:
@self - the default setting which will create pages as children of the page containing the macro
@parent - will create new pages that are siblings to the page which contins the macro (ie: will have the same parent as the current page)
page title - the new pages will be attached to the page whose title matches the one supplied
space
current space
By default, the new page will be created in the current space unless you specify an alternative space with this parameter.
boilerplate
The name to be used in the boilerplate macro injected into the new page.
template
The name of the template whose contents will be copied to the new page.
prefix
A prefix to be applied to the page title given by the user.
postfix
The suffix to be applied to the name given by the user.
addspace
true
By default, spaces are inserted between the user specified page title and any pre-defined prefix or postfix unless you set this parameter to false.
prompt
'Please enter the new page name'
This parameter allows you to customise the prompt shown to the user when adding the new page.
Examples:
Basic Use
To create a blank page attached to the current page, but named by the use at runtime:
{create-page}Click here to create a page{create-page}
Which looks something like this if the user has the required privileges to create a page:
And if the user does not have sufficient privileges to create the page, they will see this:
Setting the parent page
You do not nessecarily need to use the current page as the parent page to the link, you can also use the @parent macro parameter which will use the current page's parent to contain the newly generated pages:
The {create-page} macro becomes very powerful when used in conjunction with confluence templates or scaffolding boilerplates, since it allows you to create a simple link that can be clicked to create a page within a specific location, using a specific template or boilerplate.
In fact the original purpose behind create-page was to enable creation of pages that contain boilerplates which point to templates that contain scaffolds.
When the boilerplate parameter is used, the page that is generated will contain a {boilerplate:whatever} macro which will dynamically include the given template page. Meaning that if you update the template then the pages that use the template are also updated. This is at it's most useful when the template being included contains a scaffold that contains the data to be displayed to the browsing user.
Alternativley you may wish to simply copy the contents of a template to the newly created page and then edit the contents in the normal way. This can be achieved using the template parameter.
It is possible that you may wish to formalise the names that are generated by the {create-page} macro, this may be achieved by using the prefix and postfix parameters to surround the name given by the user with something that helps to categorise the page.
Which will add ' (Project Brief)' to the end of the name given by the user.
Future versions of this plugin may add features that will allow you to use tokens in the prefix and suffix which will allow you to insert the current date/time into the page name, or the name of the user that created the page. Donations welcome.
There may be times when you wish the prefix/postfix to be attached directly to the name given by the user, such that there is no space between it and the pre/post-fix.
By setting the addspace parameter to 'false' the spaces are removed:
Will result in pages named like 'my page.user' and 'test.user'
Setting the text of the request for the page name
The name that the user gives in response to the prompt can be heavily influenced by the phrasing of the question that requests it. A user will most likely feel more comfortable when entering the name of a new project when confronted with a prompt that states 'Please enter the name of the new project' rather than the default 'Please enter the new page name'.
You can set the prompt text using the 'prompt' parameter:
{create-page:prompt=Incorpore por favor el nuevo nombre de la página}Chasque Aquí{create-page}
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q
How do I hide the link when the user can't add a page?
A
Use either the show-to macro or the hide-from macro depending on your preference. These macros allow you to show or hide content based on the privileges the user has.

Maybe I'm dumb, but the "template" option isn't working for me.
The text in the page (with set brackets replaced with parentheses) is:
(create-page:template=DHCP|prompt=Enter Name of Service)Add New Service(create-page)
It makes a link called "Add New Service", and when clicked, it prompts with "Enter Name of Service".
It then makes a new page, but the page is empty.
"DHCP" is just the name of a page in the same space. I thought it would just copy the content of that page, and use it as the initial contents for the newly created page.
I've tried a couple of different ones, same effect. Are the templates not simply existing pages?

Hi Jose
If you make your page a template, you can have default labels in your template so everytime a new page is created (using the template - which could just be a blank page), the labels would be added automatically. Here is an example of a my wiki markup:
{card:label=A}{create-page:template=MYTEMPLATE|prompt=Please enter a Title for your page\|target=edit}click here to add a new page {create-page}
Then, when you create a template, make sure to fill in the label field with your desired labels.

If you make your page a template, you can have default labels in your template so everytime a new page is created (using the template - which could just be a blank page), the labels would be added automatically. Here is an example of a my wiki markup:
{card:label=A}{create-page:template=MYTEMPLATE|prompt=Please enter a Title for your page\|target=edit}click here to add a new page {create-page}Then, when you create a template, make sure to fill in the label field with your desired labels.

This should be a quick fix to the help .vm file. I fixed it on my local machine, and can post it here if that helps.

If you use a duplicate name for the new page, nothing happens at all (as far as I can tell) and you get no message.
If I use form fields in the template, nothing happens
The labels are also lost.
Will this work with a different version of confluence, or is it just dud.

The target=edit was the main functionality I was after and was disappointed until I found the switch in the comments of this page
(which I think only a subset of people would do)

i have a problem. I would like to create a new page from a link.
I would like to compile a excel containing the information to be included in the page.
I used the macro "excel" but in the search the result is the name of and not the content of the page.
How I can create pages and taken from the external source without having to edit content?
the aim is to enable users to load the asset. For users, it is easier to write an excel markup instead of code.
Thanks

The template contains information of an asset or a "table"
The column TITLE is STATIC but i would rather take the other columns from an excel sheet and create an end to the static page.
Is possible?

So user enters title ("Test") of the page and the end result looks like - 200912 Test. Any hints on possible ways to address are appreciated.
Thx.

When using create page with boilerplate and the target page is a sub page to a page with view restrictions, the inherited restrictions isn't inherited by the newly created page.
