Funny, the autosave option was my inception and design!

Edit: Yep, I even blogged about it before this wish: We want autosave!

I like to think I had a little something to do with it ;)

TeRq 27 Apr 2011 09:08

Done :)

Attribute	Required	Allowed Values	Description
mode	no	edit (default), save-and-refresh, save-and-go	"edit" takes you to an editor. "save-and-refresh" saves the page and refresh current page. "save-and-go" saves the page and goes to it (without editor) unless goTo attribute is passed
goTo	no	valid page name	specifies which page to go to after automatically saving a page

Example code:

[[module NewPage button="AUTO (default)"  category="new-page-test" tags="qwert"]]

[[module NewPage button="AUTO edit" mode="edit" category="new-page-test" tags="qwert"]]

[[module NewPage button="AUTO save-and-refresh" mode="save-and-refresh" category="new-page-test" tags="qwert"]]

[[module NewPage button="AUTO save-and-go" mode="save-and-go" category="new-page-test" tags="qwert"]]

[[module NewPage button="AUTO  save-and-go go-to-here" mode="save-and-go" goTo="go-to-here" category="new-page-test" tags="qwert"]]

++ Lista stron
[[module ListPages category="new-page-test"]]
* %%title_linked%%
[[/module]]

Does this have a URL equivalent for plain-text links? If it does, this is extremely useful! I'm about to go and check.

THANKS! :D

Edit: Doesn't seem to be that I can find. Is there a way to do something like this?

... /category:new-page/edit/true/tags/qwerty12345/mode/save-and-go/goTo/success-page

Hmm, save-and-go would be useful if only a title needs to be set. If I want to use a data form then immediately redirect elsewhere after saving, an "edit-and-go" option would make sense… and doesn't seem to be possible.

Should I make a new wish, or is requesting it here okay? :)

Cheers,
Shane

Edit: Actually, not needed. I've been doing this for a while already using Redirect module in live template, so edit-and-go is still possible like that :)

They don't have equivalent in URL parameters.

Add "edit-and-go" as a separated wish, let the votes decide.

edit-and-go would be useful for changing titles, parent pages, etc. and can be done through the URL.
save-and-go is only effective for creating a new page with a single user-changable value, the title.

Okay, separate wish created! NewPage mode "edit-and-go" (Accidentally created a bug report first, so please delete that…)
