Internal Links not updated when renaming page with PageManager.renamePage()

[Philipp Steinwender]

Hi!

I automatically manage pages and their titles with java code.

My pages are interlinked. I sometime have to automatically rename pages. And I also want the links to updated by confluence.

The link-update feature of confluence seems to work, but not if I update the page title from java by calling:

pageManager.renamePage(page, newTitle);

The page title gets replaced, but the links are broken, pointing to a non-existing page.

Am I doing it wrong, or is there something else to mention?

Couldn't find anything about this.

Version: Confluence 4.3

This was solved by atlassian support.

PageManager.rename does not trigger the stuff that updates the links.

The proper way to do that is described here: http://docs.atlassian.com/atlassian-confluence/latest/com/atlassian/confluence/core/ContentEntityManager.html#saveNewVersion(T, com.atlassian.confluence.core.Modification)

Hi Philipp.

It was a pleasure to work with you on this case. Thanks for sharing the solution with the community.

Serprime,

Are you trying to use the Confluence API or are you attempting to modify pages via a Java plugin? If the latter, I believe this has been filed in the wrong location, as this is under OnDemand (which does not allow for third-party plugins).

If this is a plugin you are developing, these links should provide some information to speed you along: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Accessing+Confluence+Components+from+Plugin+Modules & https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+Plugin+Module+Types

If you are using the API, this link should provide the right set of URL calls and how to make them: https://developer.atlassian.com/display/CONFDEV/Confluence+XML-RPC+and+SOAP+APIs#ConfluenceXML-RPCandSOAPAPIs-v2apiRemoteAPIversion1andversion2

Does that help?

You are right, i'm implementing a confluence pugin and try to move a page with the pageManager.

I didn't get what was onDemand and Download -- it should be correct now.

Thanks for the links, but these pages tell me how to get the sevices I'm already using. My issue is that the PageManager's renamePage does not update links to this page.
