MenuText instead of Name in overview & hierarchy
Posted: Mon Sep 11, 2006 4:27 pm
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):
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.
Regards,
Nils

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";
