Hmmm, yeah

I wonder why title_or_id() was removed from CMF products?

instead we have to use:

   tal:define="title_or_id python:test(
               item.Title(), item.Title(), item.getId())

And that sucks! as it is so often used.

Guess I will have to put a "util_title(item)" script in my skin folder

## Script (Python) "util_title"
##bind container=container
##bind context=context
##bind namespace=
##bind script=script
##bind subpath=traverse_subpath
##parameters=item, default=None
##title=Returns title, default of id
##

# Returns title, default value, or title for item, in that order.

try:
     return item.Title()
except:
     if default:
         return default
     return item.getId()
