GroupTitles

Questions answered by this recipe

How do I make a group title, the way I can make a page title?

This section is optional; use it to indicate the types of questions (if any) this recipe is intended to answer.

Description

Creates page variables $GroupTitle and $GroupTitlespace, and page link markup to read group titles

Notes

Copy the php file to the cookbook directory, and add

include_once('cookbook/grouptitles.php');

to your config.php file.

Administrators add Group Titles to a Site.GroupTitles page as Page Text Variables, in the format

(...or any other Page Text Variable format). So if the group "ParkCenter" wanted to be shown to the user as "Center of the Park", the administrator would make an entry

on a separate line on the Site.GroupTitles page. (The page containing the group titles page text variables can be specified by assigning a page name to $GroupTitlesPageFmt).

Subsequently the Group Title is available in the Page Variables $GroupTitle and $GroupTitlespaced, and the Group Titles can be put into page links with

[[GroupName.{$DefaultName}|!+]]

In the example

[[ParkCenter.ParkCenter|!+]] would show up as a link with the text "Center of the Park".

This markup is particularly useful in Page List Templates.

So page titles and group titles now have exact analogues:

• Page titles have $Title and $Titlespaced page variables,
  and the markup [[target|+]],
  set by (:title:)
• Group titles have $GroupTitle and $GroupTitlespaced page variables,
  and the markup [[target|!+]],
  set by page text variable entries in Site.GroupTitles
