Author Topic: Block title instead of Page name (Read 1601 times)

codebirth · « **on:** 04 Jan 10, 23:22:15 »

Hello,

This is not really a feature but something esthetic. It would be possible to show the Block title instead of the Page name on the navigation menu and the browser title bar when you are browsing a Page block?

That way it could show Forum Stats instead of forumstats and if your forum is multi-language and you have a Block title set for each language it would look better in my opinion.

What do you think?

Nice idea.

ok for single pages.
but for pages with multiple blocks?

That problem is a little bit bigger ...
At the time to fill in the linktree and header title, the block object is not created and so I can't get the block title.
More problem we have on mutiple pages, while you view x pages with the same request.
As example here: index.php?download shows 2 pages, the download header and the stats block.
So I think, this is not practicable.
What we can do is a formed linktree ...
forum_stats -> Forum Stats
or
download.pmxblog -> Download Pmxblog

so we replace the underline and dot with a blank, the first char and the char after a blank to Uppercase

Thanks for the explanation Fel. I see is not practical to get the block title before the linktree is created. The formed linktree is a great solution, only problem is that doesn't support multi-language...

Since I need multi-language support on the site I'm working on but don't plan to create new pages very often, I will use this solution:

I have added these text strings to index.language.php

Code: [Select]

// PortaMx Pages
$txt['pmxpage_advertising'] = 'Advertising';
$txt['pmxpage_contact'] = 'Contact';
$txt['pmxpage_legal'] = 'Legal';

and in PortaMx.php I have replaced this:

Code: [Select]

	else
		$context['linktree'] = array_merge(array($pmxhome), array($pmxforum), $context['linktree']);

by this:

Code: [Select]

	else
	{
		if (isset($txt['pmxpage_'.$pmxforum['name']]))
			$pmxforum['name'] = $txt['pmxpage_'.$pmxforum['name']];
		$context['linktree'] = array_merge(array($pmxhome), array($pmxforum), $context['linktree']);
	}

Not very practical if you need to add pages constantly but it works for me. In the worst case it will still show the page name.
