I love this Mission Control template! Thank you, Rockettheme folks, for making it and giving it away.
But after using it for a few weeks, I had to return to the regular Joomla admin template and I've really noticed a difference in quality. I miss MC! I had to return to the original admin template because MC doesn't show a necessary option for me: it's missing the Custom Site Name option.
In a multilingual site with Joomla 2.5 (started in 1.7.3), a custom site name can be assigned to each content language. To assign that name, you go to Language Manager > Content tab and on the right side, under MetaData options, is the option to assign a custom site name to the language.
I spent nearly 20 minutes racking my brain and thinking I was crazy/stupid because I couldn't find this option that i knew existed. The problem was the MC template. When I restored the "Bluestork" template, the option appeared right where it should be.
If anyone knows where i can find this option inside Mission Control, I would love to hear about it. I really want to use MC.
Cheers,

Lera,
You set the Site name in Extensions >> Template Manager >> Admin Template >> Mission Control
You can set the Title and Custom text there for "Admin Title" and "Dashboard Text."
However, I'm not sure about the different languages since I don't have that set up. I think it is a good point... I'm sure Andy will see it here and advise, or make it a consideration for future.
Cheers,

Hi Nanci,
Ya, as you probably guessed, the benefit of the custom site name is that it will change according to language when you have a multilingual site rather than staying static. Kind of cool trick!
Cheers,
Lera

That it is.... hopefully that feature will be added soon. Why don't you mark this as solved and open a new thread titled "Request - Core Language Settings" or whatever you feel will get the message across.
Luck to you, sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Hmm, could I just edit the title? That way all of this discussion is visible to the makers.
However, I'm not sure this could really be called a feature request. It's broken thing. Joomla allows custom site names assigned per language, and the option shows up (since Joomla 1.7.3) on the Language>Content tab if I use the default admin template.
The broken part is that if I use MC, the regular, included option stops appearing. MC actually takes away an option already given in Joomla.
So I'm not sure if this is a "request" or really a notification that something is broken (which is what I was trying to do). But I'll re-label this if you think I should.

That's what I meant. Edit the title, but leave it in Mission Control so Andy sees it. If you say request core joomla function then he will recognize it as a function that is available in other admin templates. I think? LOL

- Also, in Joomla 2.5 there is an option in the language manager to set the access level for content languages. This option is not available when using mission control
