XF 2.3 This is a tiny bit embarrassing...

[Levina]

Actually it's pretty ridiculous, but here goes.

When I built my forum, almost a year ago, I replaced the board title (which is my forum's name in Basic Options) on the Forums page with "Forum List" as I thought the forum name was already in the header and unnecessary there. Now I want to make a change to it and the problem is I don't know how or where I changed it.

I mean I assumed to have made the modification in the forum_list template. But apparently I didn't. The template is unchanged for all styles so it should follow the board title from Basic Options but it doesn't.

There's nothing in extra.less either. I've checked "Template modifications" and searched them. Also searched phrases. I've looked in all nooks and crannies I could think of in the ACP, and there's nothing.

So where in the wide world could I have changed that? Or, what am I missing? Did something change between XF versions?

Phrases?

Phrases?

Nothing that I can find.

Setup > Options > Basic Options > Board Title

I see I forgot to mention in my OP that the forum's name is filled in there (I edited my OP to add it):



And here's the forum_list template:

<xf:if is="$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage != 'forums' OR ($xf.options.indexRoute AND $xf.options.indexRoute != 'forums/')">
    <xf:title>{{ phrase('forum_list') }}</xf:title>
<xf:else />
    <xf:h1>{$xf.options.boardTitle}</xf:h1>
</xf:if>

To double check I opened a demo with these exact settings and it shows the forum name, not "Forum list".

Phrase: forum_list

Phrase: forum_list

Well, yes, but that just gives the template.

OMG.

Look, I know my way around the ACP, okay? I have searched all and any phrases I could think of and I have found nothing except the usual, nothing that indicates a change anywhere. The same for templates.

Search phrases for Forum List - use translate option and change the first Forum List entry to what you want. I changed mine to 'Community'

If you are still looking, try searching your templates. Add p-title-value to the template contains criteria. It will list any templates and you can see if any have been amended.



It may be you have edited the PAGE_CONTAINER template and replaced <h1 class="p-title-value">{$h1}</h1> with <h1 class="p-title-value">Forum list</h1>

Funny, I flipped through this I don't know how many times because the phrase text is equal to the master value (both "Forum list" and there's no revert button so if I'm correct I couldn't have modified it here. And the demo shows the same, and yet displays the board title. But yes, I could definitely do this to change it again to something else. Thanks. Could maybe be a better way even than modifying a template, less prone to causing problems with software updates?

But the question still remains: how did I change it initially?

Yes, still searching.

Searching templates on p-title-value yields some results but only two with modifications: xfmg_media_view (not relevant). The other template is indeed PAGE_CONTAINER with 4 modifications and none seem relevant:



PAGE_CONTAINER:



But when I look in the browser's dev mode and compare my forum to the demo I opened, I see this:

My forum:


The demo:


So all things being equal (except for non-relevant modifications) what accounts for that difference?

This is driving me nuts.

If your Index page route (in Options > Basic options) is not forums/, the Forums page will show Forum list title (not your board name).

Exactly. You can change the phrase if you want to change Forum list.

That's it! That explains it. After everything checked out, I knew it had to be something small that I overlooked. And wouldn't you know, the Index page route field is missing in the demo so I couldn't compare settings and I would have never discovered this on my own. Thank you so much for ending my agony! If it shows anything it's that I have still much to learn.

Thanks everyone else too for your help. Much appreciated.

Mystery solved - I can empathise with your frustration, as I've been there and overlooked an area that's not the focus of attention. You can chill now and move forward
