  • Second group title - MySurvey title - MyLimesurvey Server
  • Third group title - MySurvey title - MyLimesurvey Server
  • Conclusion - MySurvey title - MyLimeSurvey Server

Every page should have right <title> tag, for example:

  • Administration Dashboard - MyLimesurvey Server
  • Global Settings - Mylimesurvey Server
  • Themes - MyLimesurvey Server
  • Manage administrators - MyLimesurvey Server
  • Plugins - MyLimesurvey Server
  • Label sets - MyLimesurvey Server

Page titles should be translated in each language. <title> tag should be composed by H1 titlename and ServerName variables.

Yep, we really need more information to make better title !

Else : need error information too (see skelvanilla solution)

Including error notification information in the page title (future link)

in my situation, {{ pagetitle }} is empty string inside (upload/themes/survey/mytheme/views/subviews/header/head.twig)

I also wrote this following code, but aGroup is not available variable inside that Twig template

{% if(aGroup.name) %}{{ processString(aGroup.name,1)}} - {% endif %}

I use pagetitle only if it's not empty

I also wrote this following code, but aGroup is not available variable inside that Twig template

Yes, it's the point : I think we need , in surveying or elswhere ; sometthing like aSurveyInfo.currentStep

Current group information

  • (whole if All in one page
  • empty for register, token etc …
  • For save : maybe add current group, unsure

Current questions information

  • Whole from group if survey is group by group
  • current for question by question

Current step (with translation) : You can have it via {{ aSurveyInfo.include_content }} https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/blob/0175cefbb6f797fa6e17cb559c152ecf06e59276/themes/survey/vanilla/views/layout_global.twig#L114
