Hi,
I agree with you about the issue you are raising. In fact, it's the
only reason why I am holding back my plan to upgrade to the latest
version of Pier.
We use a slightly customised Pier to manage our intranet and it was
relatively easy to explain to the users that if they want to create a
link to a structure, they just have to put the title of the target.
The situation was not that smooth when we were using Plone and custom
CMS. Even after a while, a large portion of our user base still had
troubles to make the difference between the name of a structure and
its title when it came to create links. The consequence was that the
sites produced during that period contained a lot of endless pages
and very few links.
So far, we get a better balance between cross-referencing and page
size, thanks to the sheer simplicity of the way Pier manages its
links. I fear that we will lose this simplicity if we introduce back
the same concepts that didn't performed that well during our previous
attempts.
Regards,
Dominique

Hi,
since the structures have a "name" beside the "title" it's very
difficult to create internal Links when you renamed (rather
"retitled")
a structure.
You have to always remember the name you gave the structure first
because if you want to create internal links you have to use now this
name else the link is broken. I don't think thats a good Idea
because no
one can guess the hidden "name" of structures....
