As noted in my reply to Danilo, I chatted with Martin A. and Barry about the questions I have about this. To summarize my concerns, it's not that I have a problem with reverse breadcrumbs. That is better than no title or a terrible, useless title. The problem I have is that when you take the time to specify a human readable page_tile on the view, I don't think the view code should override that for reverse breadcrumbs. This may plague bugs more than any other team, as we have "bug" in several steps of our breadcrumbs usually. I'm also being lazy and not wanting to go touch a bunch of view classes that we just converted to now have to specify override_title_breadcrumbs. :) Martin is flexible about the rule. He just wants something as a nice default to better help page titles for placement in Google results and to get better page titles than we have now. I proposed using page_title by default if specified and falling back to reverse breadcrumbs, assuming if the developer takes time to build a page_title then that is preferable. Martin was okay with this. I chatted with Barry about it. He was concerned that this would conflict with the rule for Salgado's upcoming change, meaning that if you have page_title, you would never hit breadcrumbs, which would negate his work. Barry proposed using label in place of page_title or +foo in the breadcrumbs, which would be a fallback if page_title wasn't specified. But the work to do this is too much given all the tests that would have to be updated again. I completely understand that and realize it's less work on us bugs hackers to fix our spots. However, like Barry, I can't get this work scheduled before the end of the week, so this will have to slip to next cycle. So bugs will have to launch with some odd looking page titles in places, which probably isn't too huge a deal. Barry and I agreed, assuming others are okay with the idea, that we would like to revisit and settle the rule for the page title next month and then do the conversion work, if needed. Martin, Barry please feel free to clarify if I misrepresented you. :) Cheers, deryck -- Deryck Hodge https://launchpad.net/~deryck http://www.devurandom.org/ _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
