Default section title in 4.07 not displaying
I’m having trouble getting <txp:section title="1" wraptag="h1" /> to display the home page title. I have a a section “home” that is the selected as the shown on the front page, with every other section not shown on the front page.

The title for the sections show on every section but the home section. This worked in 4.06, how come this is broken in 4.07? thanks!

Re: Default section title in 4.07 not displaying
Multiple section can be selected to show on the front page (this didn’t change in 4.0.6), so you’ll have to use something like this instead:
<h1><txp:if_section><txp:section title="1" /><txp:else />Home</txp:if_section></h1>Offline
Re: Default section title in 4.07 not displaying
With that it displays only “Home” for the section title on each section, and Default still comes up blank. Looking at the source, textpattern renders the title for Default as <h1> </h1>. So it’s grabbing my styles for H1, but not the title…..arg.

Try this one:
<h1><txp:if_section name="">Home<txp:else /><txp:section title="1" /></txp:if_section></h1>Offline
Re: Default section title in 4.07 not displaying
sweet that seemed to work.
So in 4.07 you can’t use a sections title, like “Home”, that is marked as being on the front page apparently. How come that changed? There are a few other quarky things that changed in 4.07 from 4.06 that i have gripes about…

Re: Default section title in 4.07 not displaying
Hmm… the difference I notice is that on the front page <txp:section title="1" /> displays default in 4.0.6, and in 4.0.7 it displays nothing. What I don’t understand is how it could have displayed Home on your site, because you can’t assign a section title to the default section (because it’s not a real section)…

Which seems an improvement to me, why would anyone want to display ‘default’? ;)

I would assume someone would want to use the section title from the section that is marked to be on the front page. Guess it doesn’t work that way.

Multiple sections can be marked to appear on the front page

Huh? So this doesn’t work:
<h1><txp:if_section><txp:section title="1" /><txp:else />Home</txp:if_section></h1>And this DOES work?
<h1><txp:if_section name="">Home<txp:else /><txp:section title="1" /></txp:if_section></h1>Both should give exactly the same result, because the name attribute defaults to an empty string if not explicitly specified.

Re: Default section title in 4.07 not displaying
apparently.
from textbook:
name=“section” Comma-separated list of section names.
For the default section, either use the text default or a single comma (for example, both name=”, other_section” and name=“default, other_section” are equivalent).

Well I’m officially confused now! Despite what Textbook says I thought that <txp:if_section> (with no attribute) would return true if we were on some (any) section at all — as opposed to the front page, which is sectionless. Rather like how <txp:if_category /> will return true if any category is being viewed and false if we’re somewhere else. That behaviour supports the above snippet.
Conversely, if you explicitly stated <txp:if_section name="" /> or <txp:if_section name="default" /> then it should return true for the front page and false for other pages that have an actual section. And of course <txp:if_section name="my_section" /> returns true only for that section.
That’s how my twisted logic expects it to work anyway…
