Page title’s special installation instructions do cause some confusion for those not looking at the README.txt (or the note on the project homepage.)

During the install process we can check if the return value of _phptemplate_variables() to see if the main theme is configured for use with page_title. We can also do this check on the page_title settings page.

The main wrinkle will be working around the admin theme option. We need to make sure we are checking the main theme’s _phptemplate_variables() function and not the admin theme’s.

I cant think of anyway this is possible and accurate - in Drupal 5 or 6. There is simply NO access to the page level variables at module level, which I think is a huge oversight!

Would this need to be a change to drupal core, or to the PHPTemplate-based themes, or what? If we want it fixed, we need to file a bug against 7.x

I believe a bug/festure request needs to be filed against D7.

That was what I figured, but with the comments at:

http://drupal.org/node/254804

...it may already have enough functionality in D6 that we don't need any special instructions other than possibly "Use a PHPTemplate-based theme".

Possibly.. I'll investigate. I believe we now have more than one issue open on this topic now...

I've decided that 2.3 shall be the last of the DRUPAL-5 releases. I simply do not have the bandwidth or energy to maintain that branch anymore. If anyone wishes to become a co-maintainer for the DRUPAL-5 branch, please contact me.
