websites/Gitlab-Issue-Listing-Script#29: Improve page titles

Issue Information

Issue Type: issue
Status: closed
Reported By: btasker
Assigned To: btasker

Milestone: v0.4
Created: 21-Apr-22 07:11



Description

Whilst page titles do currently convey meaning, the way they're structured isn't particularly optimal:

[subsection] / [project name]: [issue name]

It's even worse for milestones/releases as you end up with a title like Websites / Gitlab Issue Listing Script: Gitlab Issue Listing Script / Milestone: v0.3

Whilst it's accurate, it's quite a lot to read.

The most granular bit will also likely be truncated in search results and window managers, depriving the user of the most useful bits of information

We should reverse the ordering so the most granular information comes first

I've re-ordered the title on issue listing pages:

<title><?php echo $issue['issue']['short_reference'];?> <?php echo htmlentities($issue['issue']['title']) . " : {$issue['issue']['gitlab_reference']}";; ?></title>

Re-order issue page title for websites/Gitlab-Issue-Listing-Script#29

This moves the more granular information to the front of the title

The milestone page has been adjusted in a similar way

<title>Milestone <?php echo $milestone['title']; ?> : <?php echo htmlspecialchars($milestone['project']->name_with_namespace); ?></title>

Wiki and Container pages didn't need any adjustment.
