Title for BW pages

[jeanyves]

Currently all BW page in PT mode have the same title : BeWelcome

this is to improve and a core feature is to be designed

for example :

• forum thread page should have teh title of the thread
• cities pages should have "Bewelcome members in XXXX" as title

etc etc ...

This is quite important for pages visibility, so I put this in critical

It should be possible to solve this in the next release.

Please have a look at 'text/en/page.php', and 'text/de/page.php'.

There the variable 'PVars::getObj('page')->title' is set, which is later read in 'templates/page.php' to determine the page title.

The appropriate place to set a title could be the View classes..

See [3915] and [3916]

We need to

• decide if this is a good way to create the titles.
• decide if the chosen titles are ok.
• when we're happy with it, do the same for other applications.

Not to forget:

• use MOD_words for the page titles!!

Replying to lemon-head:

Good I think this is the idea in general. One point, how to change this title elsewhere than in Page*.php something ? Could it be possible to have a methot for this like Page->SetTitle?($newTitle) ?

It should also be compatible with the new PT version.

And in the same idea, I would like to have (just like in old BW) a :

Page->SetMetaKey?() : to set the meta key word to something tunable (with a default value)

Page->SetMetaRobot?() : to set the meta key for robot to something tunable (with a default value)

Now that we know how it works, it should be easy to introduce additional page titles.

PVars::getObj('page')->title = "Collecting stamps is sexier than traveling - BeWelcome Groups";

(you can do that in the view classes)

[lemon-head]

Anyone can do this - so I make the ticket open for everyone.

Btw, with the new #436 architecture, a page title is set by overwriting the method inherited from RoxPageView::getPageTitle()

I tried getPageTitle thing, but it didn't work. I'll try again later.

[jeanyves]

Andreas and Felix probably have ideas about this.

When you will have find the solution, I will be very happy to have a a thread as title of the page for each forum page thread.

@guaka:
If you really want to find out, I recommend the following:

1. make a fulltext search for "$Page->title" (or "$page->title), and "PVars::getObj('page')->title". This should be quite revealing for those applications that work with the PVars::getObj('page') global.

2. Some newer applications all define their pages as subclasses of "PageWithRoxLayout" (formerly known as "RoxPageView"). PageWithRoxLayout has a method called getPageTitle(), which by default returns "BeWelcome". To define a different page title, you have to override this method in the specific subclass.

You can see this happen in the definition of PersonalStartpage::getPageTitle(), which returns something like "Welcome, Username".

I just checked some apps on production and it seems some of them have a page title and some not.no title:

• groups
• edit profile (shows just "users" profile on BeWelcome)
• my messages (shows just "users" profile on BeWelcome)
• my preferences (shows just "users" profile on BeWelcome)
• my profile visitors (shows just "users" profile on BeWelcome)
• comments
• trips
• blogs
• FAQ
• feedback
• my gallery

all should be translatable
