While I agree that "promote to the front page" is misleading for the reasons Bèr stated, I think that "add to headlines" is plagued with the same problem. This label is good only for the cases where promoted nodes become headlines. But what about other applications of node promotion? The flag could be used to separate the important nodes from the relatively unimportant, the timely from the old stuff, or to make some other distinction. I wrote a module called "periodical" that gathers promoted nodes to create a new issue of periodic content. So I vote for a more general label like "Promote this node". While this label may not fully describe what the flag affects, at least the label does not improperly describe the affects of checking the box. Nic On Mar 7, 2005, at 3:14 PM, Bèr Kessels wrote:
Hello.
Currently we use the standard flag called "promote to frontpage". This is only correct for those cases where /node is the frontpage. For all other cases, thes flag is obsolete, if not completely wrong.
I suggest the folloiwing: We stop calling /node frontpage. We call /node "headlines", in documentation and help text. By default the headlines are set to frontpage (we have that now) We rename the flag " promote" to "add to healines", or even simply "is headline"
Pro This will improve useability for all these ppl that do not use /node as frontpage. It will make our frontpage system clearer, for /node (headlines) becomes just another frontpage option.
Con: Users who are used to the current system might get confused when they do not find the "promote to frontpage flag" anymore. Regards, Bèr -- [ Bèr Kessels | Drupal services www.webschuur.com ]
