Add page titles for different pages on mysb
Last modified: 2009-10-05 16:43:39 UTC
Most pages currently have the same title: "Welcome to mysqueezebox.com!" We need to have different titles for different pages, to help with bookmarking and readability of tabs in multi-tab browsers (also helps SEO I believe). General format should be: "[page name] - mysqueezebox.com" Home: "Home - mysqueezebox.com" My Music: "My Music - mysqueezebox.com" App Gallery pages: "[app name] - App Gallery - mysqueezebox.com" My Apps pages: "[app name] - My Apps - mysqueezebox.com" Favorites: "Favorites - mysqueezebox.com" Players: "Players - mysqueezebox.com" Remote Control: "Remote Control - mysqueezebox.com" Support: "Support - mysqueezebox.com" Privacy Policy: "Privacy Policy - mysqueezebox.com" Terms and Conditions: "Terms and Conditions - mysqueezebox.com" Account settings: "Account Settings - mysqueezebox.com" Sign In "Sign In - mysqueezebox.com"
Not sure if this is a Michael bug or a Matt Martin bug, or both...
Page titles without any translation are as useless as no titles to many of our users. And thanks to ajaxifying our pages titles won't always be useful: the linked page very likely doesn't look the way it did when a davorite was set. I'll see what I can do. But following our one and only rule this wouldn't be a p1.

No, but the titles will still be accurate for the pages I defined. The New York Times homepage content changes every few minutes, but people still bookmark that page :-). > > I'll see what I can do.

== Auto-comment from SVN commit #7379 to the network repo by michael == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/network?view=revision&revision=7379 == Fixed Bug: 14106 +1 Description: add page titles to mysb.com pages. Please note that we can't have "App XY - My Apps - mysqueezebox.com", as all apps use the same URL, content is loaded dynamically.
Isn't it possible to dynamically change the page title? Would be a P5 optimization IMO.

Well, there's not much point in changing the page title if the URL isn't changing. When using AJAX, best practices tell us that, even though content is getting loaded in dynamically, if the user performs an action that seems to load a new "page," the URL and page title should generally change too, and standard browser-usage things like back button, bookmarking, copying-and-pasting the url into a new window, etc., should generally work. It's different when something is updating "live" (without user interaction), or when only a portion of the screen is changing state (such as new content loading in the web remote, or transitions occur between graphics in the home page widgets). In that case the user doesn't perceive that an entirely new webpage is loading, therefore you don't change the URL or page header etc. So in the longer term, different app "pages" in my apps and app gallery should actually probably have different URLs (and different page titles). But different tabs inside an app or a page ("account" vs. "shopping" cart on amazon, for example, or "alarms" vs. "network" tabs on a player page) would NOT change the url or page title. Regardless, we don't need these additional changes for INXS.
You must be following different best practices than I do. My best practices say: don't touch url nor status bar. Honestly - I wouldn't even know whether it's possible to fake the browser's URL address without actually reloading it. I'd be interested to see a page which does this. Any example?
This bug has been fixed in the latest release of MySqueezebox.com (formally known as SqueezeNetwork)! If you are still experiencing this problem, feel free to reopen the bug with your new comments and we'll have another look.
