Beating the 25 characters limit for Navigation Title
Fergus asked if there was a way to type beyond the 25 characters limit for a navigation title (the title that you see for a page in the navigation bar). To beat this limitation, we need to employ a small trick. Here’s how we can do it:
- Go to the Properties of the page you want to add the long navigation title to.
- Delete the text in the Navigation title box.
- Uncheck Show this page in the Navigation bar.
- In the Page title box, type in the long navigation title you want to see.
- Once completed, check Show this page in the Navigation bar. You should see that the Page title has now been copied to the Navigation title.
- You can change the Page title now to whatever you want, or keep it the same.
- Click OK to Save.
Now, when you view your website, you will see this long Navigation title in the Navigation bar.
Hi Royster,
So simple! Sorry to have bothered you with it. Is it this a glich or do they want to control the title length - i.e. will I have problems in the future?
Really like the forum by the way.
Thanks again,
Fergus
Hi Fergus,
They are trying to limit the navigation title so that when you have the navigation bar on the left, the words will not disappear if the length was greater than 25 (remember you asked me about that before as well and we solved it with the “wrap” trick)?
Royster
can you post the “wrap” trick?
@Steven: wrap trick - add this in your custom CSS:
.MSC_PrimaryNavLinkFrame {
white-space: normal;
}
