Can a component or macro be made that will create child pages from a template?

[Former Community Member]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was a way to create some kind of component or macro that allows you to create a child page from the website, without having to go through the AEM or CRXDE.

Basically, I want a user to be able to go to the website and for there to be a "add new page" link or button that will allow the user to add a child page under the current one.

Any suggestions or help would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Just to clarify: by user do you mean author? Or an authenticated user on a publish instance?

An authenticated user. We want the users to be able to create a new child page without using the AEM or CRXDE.

You can have a button on page clicking of it make a post to [1] with parameters [2] like label, title, template etc.
Instead I would say use sidekick to create a button[3] called "child page".  when author click on it get required parameter & post to [1]. This is to avoid additional logic to check mode on each page to display the button.

BTB what is the problem with using site admin to create a page?

The reason I need to do it this way is because my boss wants users to be able to edit the content of the pages and also add new pages without using the AEM or CRXDE. I do not know why he wants it this way, but that is what he requested.
