Page title is broken

[RSD-accessboard]

The page title that shows up in the browser tab is broken. It has the same page title for all pages. This was working, not sure when it broke.

The Training & Webinars and News pages seem to have this problem. The others seem ok.

[bruce-usab]

Oops, we forgot to Ask Andrew about this today.

[bruce-usab]

Board Members page also does this. I will ping @apburnes

[kengdoj]

For the Training & Webinars and News pages, the page title should be Training & Webinars and News, respectively. Seems like these pages should use the same technique the page title is created on Research and Contact us/other pages that do not have the top blue banner or left sidenav. Is this correct?

[bruce-usab]

Yes @kengdoj on all points

[bruce-usab]

Looking at https://github.com/atbcb/usab-uswds/pull/378 before I ping Andrew.

[RSD-accessboard]

It’s possible there has been no page.title assigned. If the front matter variables not defined. I think we can figure this out without Andrew

[kengdoj]

Why do some pages have the blue banner and others don't?

[RSD-accessboard]

It depends on which layout they’re using. I created that blue banner for the layouts I made, and ended up looking so nice we started using them more and more across the site. We can change the _Layouts/page 2 also use the blue banner

[kengdoj]

I like the blue banner. I'd like to see it on all pages if that makes sense

[bruce-usab]

i agree the blue banner looks sharp the field populating the blue banner is not consistent though sometimes it is title, other times collection title, other times something else

wrt OP, i am not finding missing title attributes, but I will keep looking

[bruce-usab]

My working theory is that front matter in .html pages does not do anything. We have webinars/index.htm and news/index.html and the latter was built off the USWDS template, but it is only these two pages which seem to have the bad behavior.

I will test in a local build on my VM.

[RSD-accessboard]

Front matter does work in.html pages otherwise we wouldn’t be able to give them a layout.

Trainings and webinars and news are funny though because they are created with pagination. That could be something that is messing them up

[bruce-usab]

Good point about front matter giving html pages a layout.

Initial results from converting /news/index.html and /webinars/index.html to _pages/news.md and webinars.md

• Scary warning that "Pagination: Is enabled, but I couldn't find any pagination page. Skipping pagination."
• News articles fail to generate articles, which is not entirely unexpected given the scary warning.
• Webinars page generates same as before
• Both News and Webinars still have bad titles

[bruce-usab]

Blah, just wasting time. News articles in News page are not generating on my local build.

PR #582 fixes the titles for the Board members, News main page, Training & Webinars main page.

Where are the webinar pages like https://beta.access-board.gov/2020/09/02/webinar-ability-center-of-greater-toledo/

and news pages like https://beta.access-board.gov/2020/09/02/webinar-national-park-service-regions-3-4-5-accessibility-workshop/?

[bruce-usab]

Nice! Just found this doc that paginator pages should not have a permalink: https://jekyllrb.com/docs/pagination/

All webinars, news, and training announcements are in _posts folder. This the Jeykll blog mechanic. There are some peculiarities, not the least of which is the file naming convention.

I am not excited to be adding JavaScript to pages, but nothing else I have tried worked. I will see if I cannot use @kengdoj technique to patch the layout that posts use.

[bruce-usab]

LOL, now home page title is title from blog post with oldest date. I will add the document.title={{page.title}} JavaScript in my branch to patch that.

Individual board member pages also need this patch.

[RSD-accessboard]

They are all under_posts\
