Summary:
Patch to the standard Pages plugin to make the Title field editable
Full description:
Editable Page Titles
(Edit your project's description!)
Release notes:
A number of our clients have complained about the lack of editability of the Pages Title field.
Titles having typos (or those which inadequately describe the associated content) have previously been immutable, and have therefore necessitated the deletion and re-creation of the corresponding page; somewhat of a PITA!
Actually this is not just a problem for our clients, but for all Elgg users; in fact the problem was identified and reported at least 10 months ago, but no update has thusfar been forthcoming.
But here - at last - is a solution.
The patch is not a plugin in the true sense, as it only overwrites a couple of files in the pre-existing Pages plugin. So it only needs to be placed in the mod directory and unzipped, after which it can be deleted.
Here's hoping that the Elgg community find this patch useful.
Cheers, C4LPT Development Team
Hi Beany
- Go to one of the pages you have created.
- Click the "Edit Page" link.
- Click in the "Pages Title" field, and edit as appropriate.
- Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click "Save".
Page Title Change - Done! (with due acknowledgement to Gordon Ramsay)

Hi Vidou
The pages plugin is one provided as standard in an "out of the box" Elgg installation. So, if you have installed my "plugin", the slight changes it made to the original code will have been completely overwritten when you upgraded to V1.7.
To restore the code changes introduced by my "plugin", simply repeat the installation procedure outlined in the Release Notes above.
Volia!

Trying this on 1.7 ... I get the "Form is missing __token or __ts fields" error when saving pages with this patch applied. Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks for this fix, C4LPT!
I have a quick workaround for those of you who experienced the missing security token warning. Add the following code as line 80 in /views/default/forms/pages/edit.php:
echo elgg_view('input/securitytoken');
