Not planned titleBar inconsitent when Forum tab is selected

[AndyB]

I think it would make sense if the titleBar would indicate "Forums" when the Forum tab is selected, currently it shows "XenForo Community".

It's not consistent in this case because XenForo Community is the name of the forums.

In most cases the logo already states the name of the forum, so it's redundant indicate the forum name again.

To be consistent I think it should say "Forums" as that's the way the other tabs work.

Correct. Most cases, but not always.

Take a look here, for example. Let's Do the Timewarp is the only style of the three available that has the logo with the site's name in it.

Good point, Amaury. I suppose that's why it has the forum title instead of the word "Forums" for those that leave the default logo.

On my forum the logo clearly has the forum name, so I tried editing the template to replace my forum name to say Forums, but it looks like it will require a hack to the php code to make the change.

Alternatively, you could just comment out the forum name.

Over on KH-Flare, that's what I did eventually. This is no longer visible:

KH-Flare Forum

Edit the xen:h1 tag in the template forum_list, I believe.

Hi Jeremy,

Thank you for the suggestion. Before I created this thread that is what I tried. I thought I had it, but it turns out that all forum titles and thread titles said "Forums". That's when I decided to create this thread.

Here's the code snippet from the PAGE_CONTAINER template that I tried to modify. I changed "{xen:raw $beforeH1}" to "Forums".

<xen:hook name="page_container_content_title_bar">
<xen:if is="!{$noH1}">            
  <!-- h1 title, description -->
  <div class="titleBar">
  {xen:raw $beforeH1}
  <h1><xen:if
  is="{$h1}">{xen:raw $h1}<xen:elseif
  is="{$title}" />{xen:raw $title}<xen:else
  />{$xenOptions.boardTitle}</xen:if></h1>
  
  <xen:if is="{$pageDescription.content}"><p id="pageDescription" class="muted {$pageDescription.class}">{xen:raw $pageDescription.content}</p></xen:if>
  </div>
</xen:if>
</xen:hook>

You edited the Page Container, not forum list as I stated.

That works perfect, Jeremy. Thank you so much for the tip.

Anyone reading this thread, here's what I did.

1) Edit the forum_list template
2) Change the first line of the template like this:

Original line
<xen:h1>{$xenOptions.boardTitle}</xen:h1>

edited line
<xen:h1>Forums</xen:h1>

 

[Jeremy]

You want it to remain in the H1 tag.

 

[AndyB]

You want it to remain in the H1 tag.

Yes that's what I did, I edited my post to show the correct code.

Thanks again, Jeremy.

As noted, this was done intentionally and it's straightforward to change.
