Hi DW,

When using designs and layout, all my templates get the filename in the administrationen.

For instance i have 2 page templates that use a master page. I named them standard.html and frontpage.html.
Now when i view them in Layout dropdown i get this:


The template name is shown, with and without extension.
Is it possible to set a more descriptive name for my templates?

The same goes for paragraphs, i see the filename, which isn't always the most informative to an editor.

 Hi Martin,

The title of the layout is set by giving the template a title, this will then be the name of the layout.
You can write a description also, by defining a meta description in your template.

A good example is the standard Condition layout.


Best regards,

Give your template a title and you'll see that in your list.
Attached example.

For layout templates, you can name them using the title tag of the head section. The name of the title will then display in the layout selector. You can also specify a description of the template in the meta description.

When having more layouts using the same master, they share title and description. That can be overruled by doing this in the layout file:
<!--@MasterPageFile(Master.html)-->
<!--@Layout.Title(Condition - sub layout)-->
<!--@Layout.Description(Use this layout for subpages)-->

You cannot control the name and description of the paragraph templates as it is now.

Btw. When using:
 

<!--@Layout.Title(Condition - sub layout)-->
<!--@Layout.Description(Use this layout for subpages)-->

They are rendered all the way to the final output HTML.
The tags should be removede when DW creates the "templatename.parsed.html" file.
