just a thought: manager view, why title instead of menu title?

hi,
to make a long one short:
in the manager view on the left (obviously), is there a specific reason why titles are being displayed as site links and not their resp. menu titles?

what it is now (=title), eg:
Somerset West near CapeTown lies in the heart of the wine and golf region. Visit Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Hermanus.

even i myself sometimes have to guess, what was that again...

where it could be the actual link name (=menu title), eg:
Location

clear, precise, uncluttering..

please enlighten, thanks in advance,
burn

there is a patch to exchange pagetitle with menutitle. patch was against 1.0.1

http://svn.modxcms.com/jira/browse/MODX-1405

i am delighted, using it straightaway and saying thank you very much!

...and what was the reason of using pagetitle instead of menutitle in the first place?

I think the assumption was that Menu Title would be abbreviated in many cases to make items fit in a menu, so pagetitle would be likely to be more descriptive.

I’m not 100% sure but, as far as I know the Menu Title is quite new. So I guess the current situation has historical roots. It would be very nice if this could be freely set in configure.
(also for revolution)

i personally prefer menutitle as I like to have it sync with the navigation in the frontent (i.e. wayfinder call)

yes

I second this. It would be great if perhaps there were a setting in the config to let users decide which (page title vs. menu title) they’d like to see in the manager.

File a ticket in JIRA as a request please. Thanks.
