Tim: the contact form is not for answering questions about our TIPs. We would appreciate it if you could register with us and post your comments in the future.

As of your question, this TIP should explain on how you can accomplish it. You first must decide what to be your pagetitle, then assign that to pagetitle smarty variable.

Not sure about your story.title part, if you are using the latest news module, you should not worry about it, as it already has the pagetitle part covered.

Please register and post your further questions.

Cheers for that now i have read and this is what i have done, I have added this code to news module article.php

but it's not worked to good it puts this in the page title

Could you help me fix it please

Tim:
You need to use article->title

$story['title'] is for the display of news' URLs.

As I have mentioned earlier, you may want to upgrade your news to the most recent version, so you don't have to worry about display of your news titles.

Or take a close look on how the pagetitle is being assigned by the recent versions.

I am struggling with weblog 1.41 module, as for the categories and weblog entries the correct code is not obvious, it appears to use some kind of varying string, but as I am only a part time coder I am not sure.

for example

$category['cat_title'] = $cat->getVar('cat_title', 's');

there are no obvious relationships between category or article title and simple dollar encode words like $cat or $cat_id, these all seem to be arrays or display as the word array.....eek...help

I don't use weblog, I have just downloaded it and taken a look.

The module has assigned a title which you can "borrow" as a pagetitle

thanks for your reply, I have been trying to get hold of the weblog people, I think my problem is understanding their code.

In the example you gave me, an individual entry ends up with the blog name as a page title, a category ends up with the name of the last individual entry on that category page as the title, og and the category ID appears to just be a number

its confusing not from the coding you are suggesting but working out how this module assigns category names and article titles

(sometime later)

ok I have altered both index.php and article.php and this gives a good result, however the category pages I still can't figure out.

after a struggle i found the part that puts the category name up and wonder if you could help...this is the part in index.php that defines the category but it displays as an html link

$path = $weblogcat->getNicePathFromId($entryObject->getVar('cat_id'),
sprintf('%s/modules/%s/index.php?user_id=%d',
XOOPS_URL, $xoopsModule->dirname(),
$user_id));

$entry['category'] = $path;

use of category like this:

$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_pagetitle',
htmlentities($page_subtitle .
' -' . $xoopsModule->name() .
' -' . $entry['category'] ));

brings up a whole great long URL as well as the category name, is there anyway of seperating it out

You may want to try:

add this line after the pagetitle

$logcat =$weblogcat->getCategory($entryObject->getVar('cat_id'));


then
$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_pagetitle',
htmlentities($page_subtitle .
' -' . $xoopsModule->name() .
' -' . $logcat ));

Hello,
I would like to add page titles to individual events in the AM Events module but I can't seem to get it to work (I'm not a coder ) I've been fiddling with it all day & the nearest I've got is for each event page to be called "['event_name']" with the brackets

A pagetitle is for an individual event not for a list of events.

What you are doing is trying to assign a pagetitle to a list of events.

$amevent['event_name'] =
$myts->displayTarea($myrow['event_name'], 0, 0, 1,
0, 0);

is an array and that is why you ended up with "['event_name']"

have only just tried your last suggestion...however it just comes up with -Object- in the title instead of the category

Sorry as I don't use it and can't help you further. I would suggest check the template file and php file to see how the category is assigned and go from there.

With or without the category should not be a big problem as pagetile tends to be cut off after certain number of characters.

Hope you have fixed the PHPSessionID problem. I would fix it first then worry about everything else. PHPSessionID creates content duplication problem which may well get your site penalized. All the SEO efforts mean nothing if a site gets penalized.

google did rather go round my site a couple of hundred times and use up all my bandwidth

so I have added the following in the htaaccess file:

php_flag session.use_trans_sid off

but am not sure how I can check this works

Quote:

seems to be working. To be sure, check your logs to see if items crawled by googlebots are clean of PHPSessionID.

I've same problem with mylinks...
I need to have the category path of module in the page title.
Here's the code that make category_path in viewcat.php:


I've tried
$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_pagetitle', $pathstring);
but it return the long html link, while I need to have something like:
SiteTitle: Link-category1: sub-category:

how can I "clean" all this

thanx

IAn

You will have to decipher the html link into readable plain text pieces and re-join them together.

The challenge is to break the mytree->getNicePathFromId

It would be a very difficult task. I would suggest read the xoopstree function and then figure it out a way of breaking the three.

Personally, I will not attempt at doing that at all.

Maybe someone has better solutions? Anyone??

I assume that breaking the tree coul have consequences on other modules...
I hope another solution is possible...

I've tried changing it in
$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_pagetitle', $pathstring('title'));

but it says the funciton () is undefined

Ian

Working with the staff of Xoopsit (Italian Xoops Support) we finally find the way.
In a few I'll send a detailed tip and a pdf
(the hack works also on other listing modules)

have a nice easter

Ian

I have played with this but don't get it, I want my title to be article title - Blog title

I have this code:



I know this is the line that effects it but am not sure how to edit so that my page titles just have the name of the article and the name of the blog it can you help...?
