SID-00593: Using rename in a form

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:		Perl version:
Category:	CategoryMissingFunctionality	Server OS:		Last update:	16 years ago

I want to provide an easy button for deleting a given page. (The page needs to be recreated over and over from a template and I can't simply overwrite it so I need to delete it.

But rename also refuses to overwrite an existing page.

How can I create a unique name using my form?

Discussion and Answer

Try to create a form that contains a generated unique name for the destination.

Untested snippet (use HTML form calling the rename script with method="post") :

<input type="hidden" name="newweb" value="Trash" />
<input type="hidden" name="newtopic" value="%BASETOPIC%-%SERVERTIME{$year$mo$day$hour$min$sec}%" />
