Is there a way to programmatically copy a wikipage from one location to another, with all of the content?
I've figured how to copy files within a sharepoint site using javascript, mainly following this guide:
http://www.techmikael.com/2013/07/how-to-copy-files-between-sites-using.html
However, if I copy a wikipage (by copying the .aspx file, e.g. wikipage.aspx) to a new location and open it, the page is blank.
Wiki pages can be copied via Site Content and Structure, but I need to do this programmatically, preferably in Javascript
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Here's my javascript for copying a file in SharePoint:
<head>
<script src="/sites/customwebconfig/cdn/js/jquery.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/SP.RequestExecutor.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/_layouts/15/SP.js"></script>
</head>
<br><br>Source File:
<br><input id="TheSourceFile" class="textarea" type="text" value="/sites/SharepointSandbox/WillsWikiLibSrc/Test.txt" style="width:80%;" >
<br> Destination Folder:
<br><input id="TheDestFolder" class="textarea" type="text" value="/sites/SharepointSandbox/WillsWikiLib" style="width:80%;">
<br> New FileName:
<br><input id="TheFileName" class="textarea" type="text" value="TestCopy.txt" style="width:80%;">
<br><br><br>
<input id="test" type="button" value="Copy File" onclick="myFunc()">
<script>
var hostweburl="https://xxxxxxxxx.com";
function myFunc()
{
console.log("TESTING1!");
initListName();
//document.getElementById("test").value="potato1";
copyFile();
}
function initListName() {
var scriptbase = hostweburl + "/_layouts/15/";
$.getScript(scriptbase + "SP.RequestExecutor.js", function(){
SP.RequestExecutorInternalSharedUtility.BinaryDecode = function SP_RequestExecutorInternalSharedUtility$BinaryDecode(data) {
var ret = '';
if (data) {
var byteArray = new Uint8Array(data);
for (var i = 0; i < data.byteLength; i++) {
ret = ret + String.fromCharCode(byteArray[i]);
}
}
;
return ret;

SP.RequestExecutorUtility.IsDefined = function SP_RequestExecutorUtility$$1(data) {
var nullValue = null;
return data === nullValue || typeof data === 'undefined' || !data.length;

if (SP.RequestExecutorUtility.IsDefined(headers)) {
return null;
}
var result = {};
var reSplit = new RegExp('\r?\n');
var headerArray = headers.split(reSplit);
for (var i = 0; i < headerArray.length; i++) {
var currentHeader = headerArray[i];
if (!SP.RequestExecutorUtility.IsDefined(currentHeader)) {
var splitPos = currentHeader.indexOf(':');
if (splitPos > 0) {
var key = currentHeader.substr(0, splitPos);
var value = currentHeader.substr(splitPos + 1);

Edit:
Getting an error when I try and create a page. Here's the code I have, I
function createPage() {
// add blank wiki pagef
// ServerRelativeUrl is /sites/technical/sp/Examples/_NewPage.aspx
return $.ajax({
url: "https://xxxxxxxx.com/sites/SharepointSandbox/_api/web/GetFolderByServerRelativeUrl('/sites/SharepointSandbox/FileDest')/Files/AddTemplateFile(urlOfFile='/sites/SharepointSandbox/FileDest/asdf_5_copy.aspx', templateFileType=1)",
type: "POST",
headers: {
"accept": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"content-type": "application/json;odata=verbose",
"X-RequestDigest": digest,
},
success: function (data) {
// call function do fill wiki with content
// alert('created, now update with template ' );
},
error: function (err) {
// handle error
alert('bummer create page ' + JSON.stringify(err));
}
});
}
