Is there a way to automate the Move page option

Casey Maynard

I have pages that once completed I would like to move from one location to another location.  And it is always the same location, can I set up a 'MOVE' button on the exiting page to click and it would move the page (and all of its child page too) from current location to the new location?

NOTE: Yes the Move option is VERY simple to use, but I do this action quite often so I just want a button to 'automate' the process.

Hi Casey!

I was playing around with this, and think I got to the point that's REALLY close. The user macro below will create a button that is intended to move the current page under another page. The problem is, instead of waiting for the button to be clicked, it just moves the page as soon as the page is loaded with the macro.

It seems like the movePageAsChild() method is called as soon as it is read inside the button tag. If someone could find a way to not have it called until the button is pushed, this macro would be perfect! Unfortunately, I couldn't find a way as I was experimenting.

Putting this code here in case it helps you or anyone else on the way to a solution.

ALMOST-WORKING CODE:
(change "65538" to match the ID of your destination parent page)

## Macro title: Move page
## Macro has a body: N
## Body processing: No macro body
## @noparams

#set ($pageManager = $action.getPageManager())

#set ($page = $content.getEntity())
#set ($destinationPage = $pageManager.getPage(65538))

<button class="aui-button" onclick="{$pageManager.movePageAsChild($page, $destinationPage)}">Move page under "$destinationPage.getTitle()"</button>
