Page title on Discussion lists

Hello,
I'm trying to update "Subject" field on a discussion list with a workflow and because of this I have set the Subject field to hidden since its not required for the user to fill in.
This works great. and my workflow also updates the subject.
However if I look a little closer I notice that the "Page Title" is not updated if the Subject isn't filled in when creating a new discussion.
So. To test this I have simply removed the requiremnt of the subject column and created 2 discussions:
1. Here I have filled in "Subject" field when discussion was created (like normally) and all looks good:
2. Here I have have not filled in Subject field when the discussion was created - However I did fill in something when editing the discussion afterwards (just like my workflow would I guess)
So.. Do anyone have any idea if this is a simple bug or any suggestions to a workaround?
Thank you very much for your time.

Hi Jan,
According to your description, I can reproduce your scenario.Here are my actions in my workflow :
1. Add Extract Substring of String from Index with Length action :
Copy from Current Item: Body (Return field as: Plain Text), starting at 0 for 32 Characters (Output to Variable: substring)
2. Add Set Field in Current Item action:
then Set Subject to Variable: substring (Return field as: Plain Text)
The issue is caused by delayed Workflow. When a user create a discussion , the discussion item is created firstly , the subject column is
set to “no title“ , the page title also is set to “no title” and meanwhile the workflow is starting, then the workflow set the subject column to a value you want. But the page tile is not changed after created. So the Page title would be “no title”.
For a workaround, you can create an event receiver using ItemAdding method
for your discussion board.
For more information, you can refer to these articles:

Integrating Page Title iview and Discussion Iview

Hi,
We have assigned the customized Default Framework Page to the 'Everyone' group wherein we have removed
the Page title bar Iview. So the users dont have the option of the 'History' and 'Back' buttons available on that iview.
We dont want to make this iview available to all pages as it is consuming some space.Our problem lies here:
In the Room Directory page, We get the list of available rooms. When any of the available rooms are clicked, it takes us to
the Discussion iview. Here, since there is no Page title bar available, the users are not able to navigate backwards.It is only
here that we want to make the Page title bar iview available.But since on clicking on any of the rooms, it takes us
directly to the Discussion iview and not a Page, we are not able to integrate the Page title bar iview.
Please help us in this regard.
Regards,
Prathamesh Dalvi.

Hi,
Even I was trying for the solution which you have suggested but the problem is how to call the new page which contains the discussion iview because, by default, all the rooms show the link which points to the original Discussion iView. How can we change the link to point to the new page.
Also is there any other provision of adding a 'Back' button.

How do you make the title bar display different text than the page title?

I'm looking for a way for the title bar display of my web page to be different than the text in the actual nav bar created by iWeb. For instance, I'd like the nav bar to just say Home for my main page, but in the title bar in the browser say "blah blah blah."
I know there has to be a way to do this. iWeb has actually done it on one page already, but I can't figure out how. I think it picked up the title bar text from the first text box in the page. For instance, the page name in the navigation bar is "blahs for today" but the browser title bar when you open that page says "blah blah," which happens to be the first line of text on the page. The page title in iWeb.app, though, is "blahs for today." But if I look at the source code it lists title as "blah blah."
I'm guessing I might be able to work around by making an invisible text box with the text that I want in the title bar as the very first thing on the page, and hope iWeb makes that the title bar text. I'd rather have a more correct way of doing it.
Is there a way of doing this in the source code without having to change a lot of stuff?
Thanks for any help.

Richard ~ The key is the default Title box that iWeb creates for every new page — it's that which you need to edit, not another text box you've created. And to make the text in that Title box invisible, see here.

How to you change a page title in iWeb?

Not the page name, the title that appears at the top of the page when loaded.
It seams to grab random text to use as the page title
Example: the page title here is "Apple - Support - Discussions - Post Message: Thread"
The page name could be Joe for all we know.

I believe if you put some text in the page heading box on your page then that will be used as the title that appears at the top of your browser window. Whenever you start a new page you'll notice that as well as default pictures and body text boxes there is a page heading.

How do I get to display employee job titles within a list?

I want to create a list that will hold employee data. I have a requirement to auto populate a second column based on a previous entry in the first column. More details....if the end user enters in an employee name in the first column, I want to be able to
display the selected employee's job title in the second column. Is there a way to do this without writing custom code in SharePoint? Is there a way to use a lookup column to display this information? If so, how?
I really appreciate the help/ideas. Thanks.

Hi,
As I understand, you need to auto populate Job Title per an account name in person or group field.
I'd suggest you use InfoPath rule to auto populate. If you need to get properties in User Profile, you can refer to the article below:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
However, Job Title is not listed. We can use User Information List to get Job Title of user. By default, Job Title is not available in User Information List. Please go to User Profile Service Application > Manage User Properties > Job Title > Edit
> Policy Settings, uncheck User can override and check Replicable.
Then manually run timer jobs below:
Now check User Information List via
http://sitename/_catalogs/users/simple.aspx > Edit page > edit web part > edit current view, see if Job Title is listed.
If so, then we can use UIL list to get Job Title value per Account name.

Change Page Title of embedded DS reports in the portal

Dear all,
we have our Design Studio Reports embedded in the Portal. The title of the browser window is the title of the navigation entry you are navigating to.
We have a demand where we need to overwrite the title from within the Design Studio Report to add a specific pattern to the title of the browser.
as an Example:
Name of the navigation entry: Report XY
Current browser title: Report XY
Target browser title: [DS] Report XY
I know from the ABAP Web Dynpro and CRM WebUI that there are standard functions to influence the title with customer code, when they are embedded in the portal.
Is there any way (hopefully without the use of the SDK) to influence the browser window title from Design Studio Reports when embedded in the Portal?
Thanks a lot and best regards
Fabian

Feature request: auto-complete by typing Page Title (not only URL)

I'm switching from Firefox to Safari.
I really miss new Firefox auto URL complete feature.
Please add it in the future updates.
I can start typing a word in address line, and a drop-list of URLs appears with URLs AND Page titles.
Example of a desired behavior.
Lets say I've visited a week ago an article-page titled "World History" located here http://www.hyperhistory.com/onlinen2/Historyn2/a.html
Now week later I dont remember the URL, i want to start typing "world history" and a drop list appears of URLs with Page Titles that contain this in a page title (but not necessarily in URL).
Also if I would type "history" , i want URL "www.hyperhistory.com" to appear in results because it is part of an URL (doesnt matter if its the second word, it should be there.
Example of a drop list is here http://img100.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2df8.jpg
Please let me know if that is possible with current Safari 3.2.1.

As far as I am aware it's not possible for Safari to do that.
We're just fellow users like yourself here, so it's unlikely your (good) request will be seen unfortunately. Send feedback to Apple via the Safari menu > Report Bugs to Apple... and/or http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html

Is there any way to have the page title NOT be the name of the HTML file

You might want a page title to be say "Digital Media Academy." You don't however really want the html file to be called "Digital%20Media%20Academy.html" Windows web browsers often have problem opening pages with spaces in the file name. On the other hand you don't really want the page title to be "DigitalMediaAcademy" because that looks kind of dumb. Any way around this.

The page is already not included in the nav bar, but
where do you set the page name to be different from
the file name? How can I set the name of the page,
such as the name of this page is "Apple - Support -
Discussions - Post Message:Reply," to be different
from the file name?
I think I probably misunderstood your question. You want the html "title," which appears at the top of a browser, to be independent of the name of the html file, right? I don't think that is possible in this version without manually editing the html after publishing. iWeb uses the page name given in the inspector for both the navigation bar link and the file name, replacing spaces by %20 in the latter because web servers don't allow spaces in file names.

Add Pages Title to result source

Hi everyone,
I've created a search center in a site collection, and i am trying to add all page titles of the all sites and sub sites within the site collection to a result source. what i am trying to achieve is when a user enter a keyword in the search box most relevant
title of the page should show up at the top. I've selected 'local SharePoint results' as default but its searching on matched keywords in everything, page titles are not showing up.
Please Help
P.S i am a newbie on SharePoint

Hi,
I think there are 2 options available here.
1. You can add a new query rule which prompt a top
result block which searchs source named Pages (system).
With this, you can get a result bock stick to the top which show pages result.
2. Or change the ranked result for Local SharePoin Result
promote pages result to the top.
With this, you can get pages result on the top of the result list.

How do I change my Discussions List Alias

Cannot seem to change my discussion lists Alias.
Went to "My Setting" and also to "My Public Profile" and did not see a place to edit and change my alias.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Jack!
"Will have to decide to change my account..."
Here is some additional info.
As you have discerned, the Alias of the account you are using, cannot be changed, but you can create a new Discussions Account, with an Alias that you prefer.
You cannot delete your present account. Just stop using it, after you have created a new one.
You can use all of the same info in the new account, Email address, User name, etc, just be sure to insert a new Alias of your choosing.
But your Level2#), Points(425), Total Posts(804), Total Posts Online(605) and Registered Date(7/6/02), will not be transferred.
In the new account, your Post Counts, Points, & Level Status will all start at 0. Your Registered Date will be the date you create the new account.
Your old account, with your previous counts & level, will still be viewable, under the old Alias.
After you quit using the old account, those posts, will be archived. What that means is, that if there are no additional responses in the Threads they reside in, the Topics will get continually pushed down on the Topics list. After a certain amount of time, maybe 2 to 6 months, the Threads will be locked, so no responses can be entered. But the Threads will not disappear.
Threads in heavily trafficked Forums, may be archived more rapidly than those in areas, with less activity.
The Topics that you started using the old account, will show your Old Alias, in the Author field of a main forum page, but eventually, readers will have to keep going to the succeeding pages to view them.
If someone were to do a Discussions Search, using these parameters:
Restrict by Category or Forum: All Categories
Restrict by Date Range: All
Restrict by Username: Your Old Alias
all of your posts, created since about 11/13/05, would be found.
To create a new account,
Log out of Discussions. Delete the Apple Cookies in your browser preferences. Then follow either of these instructions.
-How Do I Create My Account?
If you haven't signed up for an Apple ID for the Apple Store or AppleCare Support website (or forgot your old one), you can create a new account on the My Info webpage. Just click the "create one" link on the right side of the My Info page. Choose your country location and preferred language from the appropriate pop-up menus, then click Create Account. In the resulting page, enter a unique name (such as your email address) in the Apple ID field and fill in your other relevant information accordingly (fields marked with * are required). Click Continue to complete the process.
-To register, click Login in the sidebar on the right side of the Discussions page. In the resulting page, click the "create one" link at the bottom of the page, then click "create one" in the subsequent page and follow the instructions to create an Apple ID. For more information, see the Apple ID FAQ page.

Change SSRS "Displayed Page Title" to other than "Home - Report Manager" in top left corner of Browser

Hi,
I'm trying to figure how to change the actual page title that is displayed in the top left corner of the Browser
"Home - Report Manager" to something more meaningful to my company, so that when a user bookmark the page it will pickup the title from there.
According to the default Link: /Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx?ViewMode=List I opened up
Folder.aspx, and all I see is a reference to Folder.aspx.cs, I could not locate this file and I'm not sure if there is where I can change the title.
I can change the Site Title by clicking on the "Site Setting" link but this does not allow the change of the Page Title that is on the top left corner of the browser.
Thanks for your help in advance.

Hi Chillette,
In Reporting Services 2008 R2 or later, if we add a bookmark for a folder or report on report manager, the title of the site will display as folder name-Report Manger or report name-Report Manager. In Reporting Services 2008 or earlier, it will display as
Report-Manager only. We can rename the title of the site manually after we add the bookmark.
So in your scenario, you can update the report server to SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 or rename the title of the site manually after we add the bookmark.
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

Internationalize Page titles added through page hierarchy

Hi All,
JDev + Webcenter : 11.1.1.5
Is there a way to Internationalize Page titles added through page hierarchy in web center portal ? Title property of page hierarchy does not seems to recognize bundle files.
Thanks
Amit

currently there is no provision to set page titles in page heirearchy.
Same topic has been discussed earlier on -Re: Multi language portal
You can very well set the page titles in navigation model and in page level also through af:document tag.

Personal customisation of page title using liquid

Hello all,
I am looking to customise the title of the webpage so that the top of the browser window will be personalised based on a parameter passed through the url.
I am trying this:
        {% for listing in MDListings.items %}
        {% if {{globals.get.MID}} == {{listing.itemid}} %}
        {% assign pagetitle = {{listing.name}} %}
        {% endif %}{% endfor %}
        <title>{{pagetitle}}</title>
When I insert it into the <head> portion and update the page, the whole chunk will move to the body automatically.
When I run the liquid script in the body the output is fine.
So my question is, how do i change the page title using liquid? Or is there another way to do so if liquid is not needed/recommended?
Would someone enlighten me about this? Thanks!!

Hi Liam,
What I'm trying to do is to display a webapp on a custom page NOT using the module_webapps detail layout. This is because I need to produce results from 2 different categories and I'm using a connector webapp to link the categories to the webapp listing.
        {module_webapps id="" render="collection" collection="MDListings" template="" filter="all"}         {module_webapps id="" render="collection" collection="MDCategories" template="" filter="all"}         {module_webapps id="" render="collection" collection="MDConnectors" template="" filter="all"}         {% for listing in MDListings.items %}                {% if globals.get.MID == listing.itemid %}                   {% assign pagetitle = listing.name %}                                     {% endif %}         {% endfor %}        OR         {module_webapps id="" render="collection" collection="MDListings" template="" filter="all"}         {module_webapps id="" render="collection" collection="MDCategories" template="" filter="all"}         {module_webapps id="" render="collection" collection="MDConnectors" template="" filter="all"}         {% for listing in MDListings.items %}                {% if globals.get.MID == listing.itemid %}                   {% assign pagetitle = listing.name %}                  {% endif %}         {% endfor %}
So this content here is inside the html file that I have which I am going to use as the custom page for displaying the listing. I'm extracting the ID through the URL, then searching through the webapp list for the specific item, then extracting the information from that item.
I can extract those information easily, however I want to make use of the name of that item and modify the page title which will change the browser page name. However when i do it in the above method, the browser will display {{listing.name}} in the first method and {{pagetitle}} in the second.
I'm wondering if i am doing this correctly, or is there an easier way to do whatever I'm doing?
