Hi, Whenever a new user creates a new wiki page I would like to add a naming convention to it?

For Ex:- The File name of the wiki should be prefixed with the current year followed by the file name - ex: 2010-newcustomer

Please let me know how to do it?

Regards, Sairam Prasath.

Discussion and Answer

Are you referring to TWiki topics (wiki pages) or file attachments?

If TWiki topics: You can create an form that shows a topic name to create. The name can be pre-filled, such as current date. See example MeetingMinutes. See docs TWikiTemplates.

If FileAttachments: You need to change the filename locally before you upload to TWiki.

Hi Peter, Thanks for your reply. I am referring to WIKI pages. I want to prefix the word (Money) in all the wiki pages that a user creates newly..

Is this possible? How to configure that in TWIKI?

Regards, Sairam.

As I mentioned, you need to create an HTML form. Example at TWikiTemplates. In your case show a visible form field where the user can enter the name of the page. Add some JavaScript on the onblurr event that prefixes the page name with "Money". You can do some additional sanitizing work on the topic name. Study the JavaScript in TWikiRegistration.

Once happy with the result you can customize your WebCreateNewTopicTemplate so that all new topics created have that JavaScript logic.
