[Building Sakai] Proposed minor enhancement: SAK-23567 NeoPortal site title handling

Fri May 31 00:48:48 PDT 2013

Hi, that solution is perfect for us too. We usually tend to put the 
course code and and the academic year at the end of the title to help 
users to identify them. Our course planning system uses very long names 
and always have to modify portal to keep them visible. I would like to 
have it on 2.9.3. It seems very easy way to custom and solve our problem.

Thanks guys to provide it.
