rah_section_titles

Gocom · 2008-07-12 01:03:08

Rah_section_titles makes Write tab’s Section drop-down box show section titles instead of names. The plugin is an answer to this Feature Idea by Redbot. Requires Textpattern version 4.0.7 or newer.

This feature Could, Should, Have to be include into the Core… Same as the great sed_sections_fields plugin.

Just a question : why “Section” is still used into the write tab instead of “Page”. It’s more evident for users. Strange, no?

Because “page” != “section” in TXP – renaming the write tab’s “section” label would cause a lot more trouble than the current naming conventions.

Absolutly. I’m not sure from users point of view, “Section” is very evident. When an editor write an article, he (she) wants to add it into a website page. An editor don’t care how a website is made, don’t care all technical stuff. An editor wants a very intuive content management system, I suppose.

Cheers,

Personally I don’t agree, anyway if you prefer to call it “page” instead of “section” you can change the label in the txp_lang table

I agree with jm and redbot. Page != Section in TXP dictionary.

I can see the dilemma here, but it depends very much on the way a site is organised. If you have sections with only a single, static article assigned to them, it might make sense to call it a page.

But usually a section is home to many individual articles in which case the articles themselves would appear as pages.

Therefore I agree with redbot and others that a section is not a page. In my experience users don’t have a problem with that concept.

Hi Jukka,
nothing really important, but I think you forgot a “<br />” around line 47 of your plugin (label and select are on the same line).
In my installations I change:

$out[] = '<select id="section" name="Section">';

with

$out[] = '<br /><select id="section" name="Section">';

and everything looks right
