hey out there,

this one has me scratching my head! the docs (ooh, new shiny docs!) talk about how to get the tree group name from a language file:

tree groups

but it makes no mention of how to set the tree title...

i've been digging into the source code and found this in the Tree.cs file:

public static string? GetRootNodeDisplayName(ITree tree, ILocalizedTextService textService)
{
    var label = $"[{tree.TreeAlias}]";

    // try to look up a the localized tree header matching the tree alias
    var localizedLabel = textService.Localize("treeHeader", tree.TreeAlias);

    // if the localizedLabel returns [alias] then return the title if it's defined
    if (localizedLabel != null && localizedLabel.Equals(label, StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
    {
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(tree.TreeTitle) == false)
        {
            label = tree.TreeTitle;
        }
    }
    else
    {
        // the localizedLabel translated into something that's not just [alias], so use the translation
        label = localizedLabel;
    }

    return label;
}

which looks to be that only the TreeAlias gets localised?

so i had a dig through some of the tree uses in the core and found the StaticFilesTreeController.cs which has the following:

[Tree(Constants.Applications.Settings, "staticFiles", TreeTitle = "Static Files", TreeUse = TreeUse.Dialog)]

as the TreeTitle is set to Static Files and that text doesn't appear in the en_us.xml language file its making me think that localising the tree title isn't possible?!

very confusing! if anyone can shed some light on this one it'd be great appreciated,

cheers,
