is not a mechanism, just a page include), this is simply a feature
request
that had been (to my understanding) approved and only due to my own
inability to get the patch in is it not there now.
I don't care about the reason or whether it has been approved or
not. It is clearly too late for 2.6.
You can say that you have a ticket to the plane at the gate, but if
the plane is already rolling on the tarmac, it's simply too late.
I would recommend opening a ticket at the issue tracker. That way it
won't be forgotten.
(And frankly, I don't still see the point. You can install your own
ViewTemplate.jsp with your personal headers in your own custom
template directory, and it should just work across upgrades. That's
what I do. I think this TitleBlock feature is going to be far more
useful in 3.0 timescale, when a) we're reworking the templates the
next time, and b) there will be a proper multiwiki feature, which
will probably allow custom CSS for each wiki, so it is helpful to
have common elements.
Heck, why does it have to be a TitleBlock? Our company requires both
a sidebar and a titleblock - and I've seen companies which require a
footer block. Why should we have a block for each possibility?
Isn't it just easier to allow people to define their own structures
through the ViewTemplate than to second-guess every single possible
corporate deployment?)
