Re: Re: Remove page title

All the wiki pages are displayed using the same code, so the options like "show page title" are applied to all pages equally. Another way of looking at it is that the page-display code doesn't know what page it's displaying; it just shows the page according to how the wiki admin options are set.

To have page-specific exceptions to rules, you can use CSS, since each page has a CSS id (html id="page_n" where n is the page's ID number). Of course, the CSS rule has to have the "n" specified for pages you want it applied to.

Categories could also be used to do this, something like "if Category = n, apply the CSS rule that stops display of pagetitle", as long as you categorize each page the rule needs to apply to.

Conceivably the page-display code could be modified to not show the page title on certain pages, but what would be the filter for this? If it's based on existing data, like page names or a category, that'd work, but I don't know how you'd specify a filter that would work for pages that haven't been created or categorized yet.

Kind of on a tangent, but what some Tiki sites do is not display the page title at all, and instead use an h1 heading at the top of the wiki page (part of the wiki content). This gives you the freedom to use the heading or not on any particular page, but also requires some discipline by authors about keeping the page format consistent.
