Posted: Fri May 18, 2007 10:09 pm Post subject: Title Change for the forums |
|
|
I was wondering if the Forum script could be changed so that the Title included " - AutoHotkey Forum" or something. So that on this page that I am entering this post on, it would say
"Post a new topic - AutoHotkey Forum - Microsoft Internet Explorer"
Does that make sense? I see this being beneficial for when we bookmark particular threads for future reference. Some people do not have very good thread descriptions and it would be good to know which are for AutoHotkey.
Just a thought.  _________________ SilverEdge78 |

I bet you could do this with AHK =-)
WinGet to determine if you have Web Browser open, and whether this is already in the forum.
ControlGetText to see if current page is autohotkey.com
In any case, I don't use browser bookmarks. Google Notebook is more useful, since I can get to it anywhere.
If I did use bookmarks, I would have a folder for just AHK, so any bookmark inside is automatically AHK related.
Oh - get Firefox  _________________

| I can see that this would be useful, but I'm probably not going to change it because it makes maintaining the forum harder. This is because whenever phpBB releases a new version (somewhat rare lately), I have to reapply the change. Although that doesn't sound too hard, I already have dozens of such changes to apply and it really adds up. |

Chris, you can do it in the forum configuration (it's a standard feature). I have mine in Spanish but loosely translated it's in the Admin Panel -> General Admin -> Configuration -> Site name _________________ Regards,

The site name is already set to "AutoHotkey Community", so there must be some other mod that prevents it from showing. I think it's an SEO mod that omits the site name from topic titles. I like this mod because I don't like seeing "AutoHotkey Community" in the title bar of every topic, nor in the title of all search engine results.
The mod should probably be changed to make an exception for "post a reply", but I'd rather not mess with it (especially since the forum will probably be upgraded to phpBB 3.x sometime in the next 12 months, assuming it's released in the next 6 months). |

I concur with engunneer: get Firefox!
With Greasemonkey, you can easily get what you want.
Personally, I use the OpenBook extension which adds flexibility to bookmarks, allowing me to save them in specific folders (eg. one dedicated to AHK) and to manually alter the title under which the URL is saved (removing useless "Home Page", ultra long descriptions, or adding significant keywords).
Firefox gives you control... _________________

Wow. I definitely did not think it would generate this much feedback. Its not a big deal. I can understand what Chris said about not wanting it in everytitle and search result. I already do have an AHK folder I use when making bookmarks, but sometimes if Im not paying attention I dont use it. Its not a big enough deal to make a script to do it though. No worries, but thanks for thinking bout it. _________________ SilverEdge78 |
