MenuText instead of Name in overview & hierarchy

[nils73]

Hello everybody,

today I had my second workshop with CMSMS within the last two weeks for the launch of a 0.13 website - the other was a 1.0b6 website but not worth mentioning. After the first workshop the project-manager approached me and asked if it would be possible to replace the website-title with the menu-text in the overview. He said he had difficulties all the time in figuring out which page to edit but only because he was not familiar with the title-tag content. The same happened today when an editor came up with the same idea - for a different project. So I changed that as well. It is pretty simple to do in listcontent.php on line 159 (if I am not mistaken):

Code: Select all

		if ($display == 'edit')
			// $thelist .= "<a href=\"editcontent.php?content_id=".$one->Id()."&page=".$page."\">".$one->Name()."</a></td>\n";
			$thelist .= "<a href=\"editcontent.php?content_id=".$one->Id()."&page=".$page."\">".$one->MenuText()."</a></td>\n";
		else
			// $thelist .= $one->Name()."</td>\n";
			$thelist .= $one->MenuText()."</td>\n";

However this editor pointed me to the hierachy-manager within CMS made simple when you edit a page and want to change the hierarchy. There is the same thing going on and he always had to do trial and error to find out where the page would go afterwards. That is because menu-structure is not being displayed in preview.

Actually I think those two things should definitely be changed to MenuText because I must admit that I sometimes have to look up the MenuText as well to see where the page belongs. It would make CMSMS more useable.

Hmm ... should I post it as a feature request in the tracker?

Regars,

thats why the tracker exists

most of these reports on forums slip through our radar. tracker items are nicer couse they stick there until someone does something to it. Forum is a great place to discuss about new features and make suggestions. But getting it through is faster when you create a "formal" request for it.

I always try to get around these trackers ... but you are right: They are there to be used and so I will file it there.

Thanks.
