Disentangle block "symbolic name" from title #17

Description

@asmecher

See http://forum.pkp.sfu.ca/t/ojs3-display-custom-block-name-option/29154/2.

Currently the "block name" field is used...

  • As a column in the grid row
  • As a symbolic name in the back-end (e.g. plugin name in plugin_settings)

It is currently limited to alphanumerics, as it's symbolic.

Suggested:

  • Have the symbolic name auto-generated (using e.g. uniqid) and not presented to the user anywhere.
  • Make the current "block title" field a proper title field, not limited to alphanumeric characters. Use this for the grid column, and have it display as a block title when the block is displayed.
  • Keep the block title optional, in case users want a block e.g. with image-only content.
