Problem/Motivation
In modules, it is called "Aggregator", but in Content management it is called "Feed aggregator". It would be better if the terms matched. Otherwise it is confusing as the two may be referring to different things or may be a subset of one of the other.
Proposed resolution
Update references of "feed aggregator" to "aggregator" for consistency.
See #49 for if this can be 8.2.x (just the beta, when 8.2.x moves to rc, this issue would need to move to 8.3.x)
Remaining tasks
- (done. See #52) Get feedback from UX team (see #12).
- (done. See #54) Grep (or ag) to review if all the instances are changed.
User interface changes
Standardized naming where appropriate:





API changes
None. The module is already called aggregator on the API.
Data model changes
None.

pierremarcel commentedPatch applied and no issues. We at the Toronto Drupal User Group on #SprintWeekend have agreed that it's a good idea to drop it off too since we have it only in three places and it's all menus. It's a better idea to keep it consistent through out Drupal.
Comment #12
webchickHm. Passing to the UX team for feedback. While in general I favour fewer words, not sure if it's as clear what we're aggregating without "Feed" in front.
Comment #13
RavindraSingh commentedThank you @webchick. it is good idea to pass to UX team.

deepakaryan1988Removing sprint weekend tag!!
As suggested by @YesCT
Comment #17
yesct commented@deepakaryan1988 The tag was added January 17, 2015 during the actual global sprint weekend. See https://groups.drupal.org/node/447258
Please leave the tag on issues that were actually worked on during that event.
I think you might have confused a message from May about the sprint weekend tag, that it should not be added to events from May. The tag is for issues worked on during https://groups.drupal.org/node/447258 by people attending sprint weekend sprints.

ifrikIf this issue is still relevant, then we should take it up during the sprints at DrupalCon Barcelona before we are at RC1.
Comment #20
duaelfrThat patch needs to be rerolled and the related tests needs to be fixed.
Both are doable by a novice.
Comment #21
MattA commentedUpdating title to something more descriptive and not potentially confusing with vocabulary terms.
Updating IS to use template.

beanworks commentedChecking patch applied to Acquia dev desktop (8.0.x):
Several places showing up changed successfully:
Home Administration Configuration
Home Administration Configuration Web Services
Home Administration Configuration Web Services Feed aggregator
Home Feed aggregator Sources
Home
However, not appearing in Extend, and it is flipped in the blocks section. (Instead of Feed aggregator, it is Aggregator feed) (see images)
Comment #38
dinaizida commentedin this file /core/modules/migrate_drupal/tests/fixtures/drupal6.php there are also instances of "Feed aggregator" should we also change those?
Comment #39
jrdixey commentedI think dinaizida is right, otherwise a site converted from D6 would have the wrong title on Aggregator pages, right?
Comment #40
jrdixey commentedTested successfully in simplytest.me, as in screen captures above, all instances I could find of "Feed aggregator" in the UI now say "Aggregator".
Comment #41
jrdixey commentedMade change to D6 migration based on suggestion by dinaizida in #38.
Comment #42
apratt commentedThe patch seems to apply and catches most of the uses of Feed aggregator.
However I found one more in migrate.
grep -rl 'Feed aggregator'core/modules/migrate_drupal/tests/fixtures/drupal7.phpI found 6 instances that will need to be patched.
Comment #43
jrdixey commentedReplacement patch that takes into account apratt's suggestion to also change the migrate_drupal tests code for Drupal 7. Only updated 4 instances, not 6, to be consistent with the Drupal 6 tests code changes made in the earlier patch. (The other two instances aren't titles, so left them unchanged.)

subhojit777Patch looks good to me. It would be great if someone from UX team give some insights.

chetan2111 commentedAbove issue verified and screenshot attached here.
Comment #49
yesct commentedWhen a branch moves from beta to rc (which happened already in 8.1.x) string changes are not allowed.
And 8.2.x is in beta (and 8.3.x is open for development) https://groups.drupal.org/node/512705
Looks like string changes might be allowed in the 8.2.x beta phase
https://www.drupal.org/core/d8-allowed-changes#beta
Comment #50
yesct commented@chetan2111 thanks for reviewing and uploading and embedding those screen shots.
This issue still has some "remaining tasks" in the issue summary, and the proposed resolution seems to need to be updated also. Setting to needs work, so that a committer that looks at an rtbc issue will find the correct information. :)
Also, this is not minor, but looks like normal according to https://www.drupal.org/core/issue-priority#normal
I'm not sure if the feedback since @webchick asked for a usability review has been done (See #12). Since then, we have some more process in place https://www.drupal.org/governance/core (adding needs usability review tag to get clarity on that)
Comment #51
gábor hojtsyUpdated issue summary.
Comment #52
yoroy commentedWe discussed this at our weekly UX meeting. Lets go for "Aggregator". It's shorter and you will learn about feeds as the input for it by using it.
Comment #53
gábor hojtsyBack to RTBC then I guess. Thanks @YesCT for the triage!
Comment #54
yesct commentedI wanted to double check all the instances were removed since #43 is from January, the code might have changed.
Good news, the patch applies cleanly to 8.2.x and 8.3.x
with patch applied in 8.2.x, and 8.3.x:
Next I'm gonna look into those more and see if they are relevant to this change. Maybe not, since in d6 and d7 its name isn't (yet) changed.
[edit: berdir pointed out in irc when I asked, that the drupal7.php and drupal6.php are dumps. :) so those should not be changed. Looking into FeedAdminDisplayTest.php next]
Comment #55
yesct commentedI looked at
core/modules/aggregator/src/Tests/FeedAdminDisplayTest.php
6: * Tests the display of a feed on the feed aggregator list page.
Looked at the test, and it is referring to admin/config/services/aggregator
I installed drupal, enabled aggregator module and looked at that page.
And it is the "List" tab on the Aggregator page, so changing this makes sense to me here.
This is in a comment in a test, so it's not a huge deal either way.
Comment #56
gábor hojtsyThis is the only comment change in the patch now. I am surprised this was the only instance, but it also underlines the point of this patch pretty strongly :) Thanks for verifying.
Comment #57
yesct commented:)
adding some info to the summary that will hopefully help (committers) review it.

Comment #62
neclimdulThese are test fixtures with database dumps of d6 and d7 sites so we should make a follow up to revert this section of the patch.
Comment #63
gábor hojtsy@neclimdul: wups, wanna RTBC #2792133: Quickfix: Undo inadvertent aggregator test fixture changes then? :)
