[pmwiki-users] NewPageBoxPlus and template question

[Jan Erik Moström]

I'm using newpageboxplus like this

(:newpagebox value="Page name" label="New note" 
template=Notes.Template :)

and it works just fine but I would like to modify it a little 
bit by prefixing the name that is entered into the edit field. 
In other words if "Summer" is entered in the box, the new page 
should be named "TTTTSummer". If I understood the documentation 
correctly I should be able to use the prefix parameter like this

(:newpagebox prefix="TTTT" value="Page name" label="New note" 
template=Notes.Template :)

but when I try this the page gets the name "Summer". Have I 
misunderstood something of how the prefix parameter works?


What I really want to do is two things, prefix the page with the 
current date, so the page should be named for example 
"2007-06-17_Summer" and the new page that is created from the 
template should have todays date inserted a certain places. This 
I tried to fix by defining:

$FmtPV['$PageCreationDate'] = 'strftime("%Y-%m-%d", $page["ctime"])';

and then use {$PageCreationDate} in the template ... but that of 
course doesn't really do what I want to do (replacing the 
command string with a date string).

I don't really know what I'm doing but try to put together the 
stuff I want by trying out stuff, so any hints, advice how to do 
this are appreciated.
