I bought this add-on to help make pages out of already created content, but the #page_url_title wouldn’t populate. It would be helpful to populate #page_url_title when selecting an item from the parent pages dropdown list.
After line 50 in the add-on’s javascript, I added the following:
// Bind the Change event of the Pages Dropdown select field to update the Page URL Title text field.
$("#pages_dropdown").change(function (){
$("#page_url_title").val(url_title_field.val());
});
Works for me, but it would be nice to have in core. Thanks!

Thanks for the tip.
I have been planning to revisit Page Helper for a while to add some new functionality to it.
Glad it’s working for you.

Thanks, Jeremy - this is definitely worth the money!
If you’re revisiting this, I’ll make another request - for already created content, please change the template to the default for the channel.
Cheers,
Aaron

The problem with defaulting is that it’ll change the value without the user ever knowing it was changed. This is the same problem I had with allowing Page Helper to be active when editing an existing page.
Have any suggestions for how you’d like to see that work, such that it doesn’t automatically create a page for entries that don’t need them?

I’m thinking it would only choose the default page template for the channel if the entry wasn’t a page. Changing the page template won’t create a page - the user would also have to generate the page uri.
Do you mean people wouldn’t know the template was changed because they had the template field hidden in Publish Layouts?
