PageManager move() Issue

[#1]

Hi All,

when i try to move pages from one location to another , page gets moved and finally page name changes to 1,2,3....

I need to maintain the same names for the pages.How it can be done?

Using pagemanager api for this.

pmgr.move(page, dest,null, false, true, null, null);

Also need to understand use of "beforeName" and "publishrefs[]" in this move().

kindly help with the info.

I am looking into this. I will post back my results.

I am going to modify this artilce to move the page - but rest of article is very much applicable to working with the AEM Page Manager Java API:

Adobe Experience Manager Help | Creating an Experience Manager 6.3 Page using the Page Manager API

[#5]

I was able to move a page and it returned the page title as per expectations.

The code is similar to the above code - but page service has this Move code:

    String templatePath = "/apps/AEMPage/templates/page-home";

    String pageTitle = "AEM home page";

    Page newPage;

    PageManager pageManager;

    ResourceResolver resolver = null;

     String newPageName = "";  

    try {

        //Invoke the adaptTo method to create a Session

        resolver = resolverFactory.getAdministrativeResourceResolver(null);

        Resource res = resolver.getResource(pagePath);   

        //Adapts the resource to another type - in this example to a     com.day.cq.wcm.api.page

         Page page = res.adaptTo(Page.class);

       // session = resolver.adaptTo(Session.class);

        //create a page manager instance

        pageManager = resolver.adaptTo(PageManager.class);

        //Move a given page and return the new page- 

        /*

Page move(Page page,

   String destination,

   String beforeName,

  boolean shallow,

  boolean resolveConflict,

   String[] adjustRefs)

  throws WCMException

         */

//move the page using the API

newPage = pageManager.move(page,newPagePath,null,true,true,null);

        if (newPage != null) {

        newPageName= newPage.getPageTitle();

        logger.info("*** PAGE NAME IS "+newPageName);

            }

        else

        {

        logger.info("*** PAGE CANNOT BE MOVED -- ERROR");

        }

        return newPageName;

    } catch (Exception e) {

        // TODO Auto-generated catch block

        logger.info("&&&&& BIG ERROR" +e.getMessage());

    }

    return ""  ;

}

}

You can look at the parameters of the MOVE method in the Javadocs -- "The Adobe AEM Quickstart and Web Application."  (LOOK AT PAGE MANAGER)

We will capture this AEM API code in new article so it is easy to find

Hi Avinash,

move method in pagemanager API should work without any issues.

Are you moving the same page to the same location multiple times? If so, it would create a node with 0,1,2.. etc.

[#8]

Properties as cq:lastReplicated, cq:lastReplicatedBy, cq:lastReplicationAction are not being copied while moving pages. Did someone encounter that?
