Titles used as page identifiers

[pbloem]

I couldn't figure out why {{ current_page.url }} showed the url of some other page on my front page. I had a dig around and I found these lines in Pico.php (from 74)

        while($current_page = current($pages)){
            if((isset($meta['title'])) && ($meta['title'] == $current_page['title'])){
                break;
            }
            next($pages);
        }

This tells me that the page that is chosen as the current page is the first with the same title, and if the title isn't set, it ends up as the last page.

This kind of sucks. The docs don't say that titles are unique identifiers, and they really shouldn't be. Having two pages with the same title shouldn't break stuff. You can tell them apart by the file name.

@pbloem I ran into this problem while copying over a blog. I found that if index.md and page.md have the same title, you are unable to visit page.md and what is displayed is index.md.

What worked for me is using adv-meta by shawnsandy. I then assigned the title of the document to a new value while changing the actual title to "Title - Category"

Title: <document title> - <category>
Slug: <document title>

Now using this example will work around the issue above and produce a working link and a title without it being "Title - Category".

{% for page in pages %}
<a href="{{ page.url }}">{{ page.slug }}</a>
{% endfor %}
