Using of 'title' in createblogpost.action link - unexpected behavior of wiki

Andrey S February 27, 2013

I was using the following link to let wiki users add some specific blog posts automatically marked by required label. (Examples are from my local test version)

http://localhost:8090/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=SPACENAMEX&labelsString=LABELY

Once users asked me if it possible to make Title of the post already filled in, I did not found any ways to do that in documentation, but found that if I use

http://localhost:8090/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=SPACENAMEX&labelsString=LABELY&title=TITLEZ

then confluence will shoe new blog post page with alredy filled in title = TITLEZ.

Excellent! But…

I found that if space SPACENAMEX contains page (not blog) with page name TITLEZ then this link

http://localhost:8090/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey=SPACENAMEX&labelsString=LABELY&title=TITLEZ

provides me editing of page named TITLEZ instead of new blog post page.

Any idea how to fix it?

Thanks!

I fixed it with adding current date to blog post title like this:

#set ($linktoBlgPst = $config.getBaseUrl()+'/pages/createblogpost.action?spaceKey='+$space.getKey()+'&labelsString='+$LabelCodeParam+'&title='+$TitleValue+' '+$action.dateFormatter.format($content.currentDate) )

but it is not an answer ...
