Unique Title problem - Blog Module v 3.04 

This is kind of hard to explain as text, so please bare with me.  I need to get this resolved ASAP...

The first blog I created was with 3.03.  It worked very well.  I needed 6 different parent blogs, so I created 6 different user accounts which managed each blog.  When I added the Blog Module to the blog page, I did not give the module itself a title.  This worked well, because the title of each of the 6 blogs appeared in place of "View_Blog" (ie. "Kathy's Blog" or "Denise's Blog"), where the entries are displayed.  That allowed me to distinguish which Blog page I was on.

I am now having a problem with the 3.04 version of the Blog Module.  It is not acting the same way as v3.03.

I followed the same steps: created different user accounts for each main blog, and then added the Blog Module to the page, without specifying a title.  By default, it gives the Recent Entries module a name of "View_Blog".  The problem is that after I created each parent blog, and gave them titles such as "Project FOCUS", "The Big Blog", "Bev's Blog", ect., those titles are not displaying anywhere when you visit the individual blog's page.  For example, if I click on "Project FOCUS" from the Blog menu, I am taken to the correct page, and all of the "Project FOCUS" entries are displayed, and it says "Author: blog_focus"... however, for the title on the Entries module, it displays "View_Blog".  It is not using the Unique Blog Title, as it should be.  I made sure that was selected under Module Options.

This is a big problem, because you are not able to tell which blog page you are on, unless you read an entry, or if you know which ID (from the address bar) goes with which blog.  They are all labeled as "View_Blog" rather than using each blog's unique title.

Your help is greatly appreciated.

Jamie

Re: Unique Title problem - Blog Module v 3.04 

Hi Jamie,

you're right, the Show unique title option doesn't look like doing what it primises. However you could try this workaround: specify the blog's title in each blog's description, then check the Show blog summary option. When users click on the blog list and choose one particular blog, the description will be shown them, displaying the blog's name.

You can customize the description text along with the autor's name modifying the module.css style blog_Description. Another way to make it more visible is to surround it with h1 tags in the blog description like this: <h1>Project FOCUS</h1>. I hope this will make the trick for you.

Best regards,
Dario Rossa

Re: Unique Title problem - Blog Module v 3.04 

Yes, it's disappointing that it doesn't act as it did in 3.03, but your work-around should work well.

Thanks a lot for all your help,

Jamie
