Forum page templates should use the forum/thread title in page title,
breadcrumbs and other "meta" page info
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: MGNLFORUM-152
URL: http://jira.magnolia-cms.com/browse/MGNLFORUM-152
Project: Magnolia Forum Module
Issue Type: Improvement
Security Level: Public
Components: templates
Reporter: Grégory Joseph
Assignee: Grégory Joseph
Fix For: 2.0
We currently use a single page to display threads or forums; they are dynamic.
Since all the "logic" is contained in a paragraph, the page currently can't
have relevant breadcrumbs. Example: current breadcrumbs are
{{Magnolia Community Forums > Thread list > Thread}}, and the page title is
something along the lines of {{Magnolia Community Forums - Thread}}, which is
really not that useful. It should be something along the lines of
{{Magnolia Community Forums > Help > How to do this or that}} and {{Magnolia
Community Forums - How to do this or that}}, respectively. *
Other dynamic pages such as "events" have the same problem.
One way of doing this would be:
# customize the *page* template to override the breadcrumbs and page title etc.
Breadcrumbs should be a breeze, since they're a well extracted "include" in the
stk templates. Page title might involve more copy and paste.
# and/or : all such page-level "meta" information should be provided via the
page model. This would allow simply overriding the page model to provide the
forum-specifics for these page (i.e override {{getBreadCrumbsProvider()}} and
{{getPageTitle()}} methods, for instance)
As far as the forum is concerned, this shouldn't cause much of a performance
overhead, since we retrieve the content by uuid, and we assume the repository
provided will keep that node warmly in its cache. It might not be that simple
for other use cases, so I'm not sure how much this can be generalized. Option
#2 is still probably a valid approach to be moved to STK anyway.
\* (and yes, those breadcrumbs are there on forum.magnolia-cms.com, only
because we've hacked them in the *paragraph* template)
