Metadata plugin - Inherit on subgroups #26

Closed epernst closed 8 years ago

epernst commented 8 years ago

With reference to https://community.telligent.com/community/f/533/t/1141989 - I found a few issues in the current install. I have added the widget to the site footer. Then I have changed the title a group. Now when going into sub-groups, unless that I manually unclicks the inherit, then it here displays the inherited title of the sub-group title. The problem here is that all subpages will get the exact same title. Which is a killer for SEO. I expected that clicking inherit would do just that. Inherit the title set previously with the metadata widget, would be inherited - if set then used and replaced with the "factory" title, but plus the new page title. Either this, or the issue posted on Telligents page, is wrong or just inconsistent.

When within the same group, then if the widget is on the page (and by default with inherit), then it does not inherit the title of the parent, but the original title <<>>. Neither solutions are perfect. And please excuse me that I'm not writing in code terms, but in terms I understand! ;) The actual page title should always be used, if not manually entered on the page. If inherit was enabled, then it would add the parent title to either the title specified in the widget, or the default page title (if empty).

So it would always be or +.

Well hope I could make myself understandable.

This is what the dynamic properties are for, rather than hardcoding a title. However if you hardcode a title at the group level, then sub levels of the applications would need to be set not to inherit individually. It might be better if you create a short video of this if I haven't grasped your issue correctly.

Enhancement added to include parent group name OOTB

Can you confirm that this has been added, because I cannot see that it has been changed in the current 9.2 branch.
