Sections With ID's
Im developing a site and one of the specs on the brief is that the might want to change section titles and names for google rankings etc. I will build most of the site with most content in place. I have aswell used section conditionals (least amount possible) but if the client changes the section name then the site will break.
Is there a plugin to give sections ID’s or is there going to be one in newer released versions.
Any help welcome.

Re: Sections With ID's
Wouldn’t changing the names (and so, URLs) be bad for a Google ranking, unless you had some sort of redirection plugin at work?

Yea, I understand this but this is what they have asked for? They are a seo company and want this flexability – redirects will be used aswell.

Not likely to be included in TXP core, because it makes the templates unreadable (no-one knows what ID belongs to what section).

But this is mostlike easy and possible with the new txp:variable-tag ;) Then the section names could be defined only in one place, making the editing a lot easier. So it’s kinda in the core :P
oliverker, also, you can build a new conditional plugin. Just add new ID-column to the txp_section table, hook the conditional with ID/name, and that’s it.

So in 4.07 you’d use <txp:section name='<txp:variable name="mysectionid" />' link="1" /> or similar to make your site internal links and if you change the section name later, you just update the variable name too? Very clever idea.
Permlinks and section list-based stuff would update on their own, so only explicitly named sections would need dealing with this way, right?

Problem: this is for end-users, which is why they can’t update pages/forms themselves in the first place.
