What are my options for getting rid of the "Name" field when creating a new page?
Try adding this to your global.asax.cs file:
protected void Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
{
EPiServer.UI.Edit.EditPanel.LoadedPage += new EPiServer.UI.Edit.LoadedPageEventHandler(EditPanel_LoadedPage);
}
private void EditPanel_LoadedPage(EPiServer.UI.Edit.EditPanel sender, EPiServer.UI.Edit.LoadedPageEventArgs e)
{
e.Page.Property["Pagename"].DisplayEditUI = false;
}

I have a couple Page Types where the PageName is derived from other properties and should really be automatic. For instance, one Page Type has a "First Name" and "Last Name" property. So, the PageName should just be "Last Name, First Name" in all cases. Another one has a "Year" and a "Month" property, so the PageName should always be "Year-Month."
Now, I know I can hook various page creation events and set the PageName from there. But the user still has to enter a name in a textbox in the interface. This seems pointless, and potentially confusing since I'm going to adjust it programatically anyway when they save it.
Is there some way to prevent the "Name" field from appearing? I'd be happy with disabling it. However, it does require input, and I don't know if there's anyway I could shortcut the validator, so my thought is that I could just diable it and put "[Auto]" in the field or something.
Has anyone done this before? I can't imagine I'm the first one who wants to do this.
