I have got this landing page containing a list component which fetches image, title and description from it's child pages and display it as grid. It might be clear that the child page contains an image component along with title and text. I need my cq:dialog in the landing page to be able to create a new child page passing title, text and image path.

Hi,

You what to create a child page if doesn't exist from list component dialog?

Anyways from dialog you can only create a page using ajax call on dialog-success event.

Create a dialog to provide child page title, template and page name, when submitting the dialog make an ajax call to a servlet which uses Pagemanger API to create the child page, later you can hold the dialog submit by returning false or proceed with dialog submit by returning true as the response from servlet.

Exactly. I need to create a child page from list component dialog. Not just that I need to pass a title to the title component, image path to image component and a description to text component via the same dialog upon page creation.

Yes, you can pass title, image and description.

When the page is created use JCR Node API to add image, text components.
