GroupTitle
Questions answered by this recipe
- How can I define a title for an entire wikigroup?
Description
This recipe adds {$GroupTitle}
and {$GroupTitlespaced}
page variables. The group title is taken as the first title (for instance (:title My Group Title:)
) found in GroupAttributes, GroupHeader, GroupFooter, Group.Group (i.e. $Group.$Group), or Group.HomePage (i.e. $Group.$DefaultName). If none of these pages have titles, then the name of the group is used (spaced according to $GroupTitlespaced or $SpaceWikiWords
).
Notes
Download grouptitle.phpΔ into the cookbook/ directory, and then add the following to a local customization file:
include_once("$FarmD
/cookbook/grouptitle.php");
The $GroupTitlePathFmt variable can be modified to search a different set of pages for a group title.
# use only GroupAttributes for a group title $GroupTitlePathFmt = '$Group.GroupAttributes'; # use only GroupHeader and GroupFooter for a group title $GroupTitlePathFmt = array('$Group.GroupHeader', '$Group.GroupFooter');
To display the GroupTitle instead of the usual Group name in a page's titlebar, you will most likely need to modify the skin's template file, so that the name in the normal link at the page head for the Group is replaced by $GroupTitle
or $GroupTitlespaced
. I.e. in the skin tmpl file change $Group
or $Groupspaced
to $GroupTitle
or $GroupTitlespaced
, but only for the name of the group between the <a ...> </a> tags of the link to the group (in the titlebar or header section). Do NOT replace EVERY occurrence of $Group
or $Groupspaced
with $GroupTitle
or $GroupTitlespaced
. If you cannot understand the code, seek online help or contact the skin author.
Some skins have built-in support for GroupTitle, and will show it when it is defined with a (:title ...:)
directive as outlined above. But you would still need to install this recipe script.
Skins with built-in GroupTitle support: Gemini skin?, FixFlow skin?, Triad skin?, ....
