Pass label as a parameter to page or blog creation?

[andrey dmitriev]

Is it possible?

e.g. createPage?label=fruity, or createBlog?label=juicy

u get the point

Its not part of the default confluence functionallity. But... my first thought is to solve this with a tiny bit of javascript. Insert this code to the Confluence Administrations Custom HTML "At the End of the BODY"-part

<script type="text/javascript">

AJS.toInit(function ($) { 

     //is it a create page action which is called??	
    if( window.location.href.indexOf("createpage.action") > -1) {
        
        //if yes is there a label given as request parameter???
        var label = getUrlVars()["label"];
        if(label) {
            
            //simply click the labeleditbutton
            jQuery("#labels_edit_link").trigger("click");
            //insert the label parameter value
            jQuery("#labelsString").val(label);
            //and close the label editor
            jQuery("#labels_edit_link").trigger("click");

        }
    }
});

//this function is needed to get the parameters from the url
function getUrlVars()
{
    var vars = [], hash;
    var hashes = window.location.href.slice(window.location.href.indexOf('?') + 1).split('&');
    for(var i = 0; i < hashes.length; i++)
    {
        hash = hashes[i].split('=');
        vars.push(hash[0]);
        vars[hash[0]] = hash[1];
    }
    return vars;
}

</script>

This snippet of code is getting activated on a create page action. It looks for a "label" parameter and insert it to the labels input field. It works during a quick test in my CF 3.5.13.
