Simple Machines Community Forum

hi there,

I have a small issue.

Default SMF forum title tag has following pattern

Title: (Main Forum Name)
Title: (Category name)
Title: (Topic Title)


I changed it to
Title: (Main Forum Name)
Title: (Category name) - (Main Forum Name)
Title: (Topic Title) - (Main Forum Name)


using this

<title>',  $context['page_title_html_safe']. ' - ', strpos($context['page_title'],$context['forum_name']) === false ? $context['forum_name']. ' ' : '' , '</title>';

This code also checks if current page is forum homepage so it doesnt apply this template to home title to avoid repetition

Now the issue is my forum name is very large and i need it on homepage only, but that complete name is repeating in all titles which is annoying



So what i need is

Title: (Main Forum Name)
Title: (Category name) - (Custom Text)
Title: (Topic Title) - (Custom Text)


is it possible with some modification in above code ?



I am using SMB 2.0.15

try this edit in your index.template.php


echo '
<title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '</title>

i'm guessing in your modified file it will be then?

echo '
<title>',  $context['page_title_html_safe']. ' - ', strpos($context['page_title'],$context['forum_name']) === false ? $context['forum_name']. ' ' : '' , '</title>';




$custom_text = 'My Custom Text';
if ((empty($_REQUEST['action']) || $_REQUEST['action'] == 'collapse') && empty($_REQUEST['board']) && empty($_REQUEST['topic'])) // on homepage
echo '<title>',  $context['forum_name'] ,'</title>';
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']) || !empty($_REQUEST['board']) || !empty($_REQUEST['topic'])) // on board or topic
echo'<title>',  $context['forum_name'] ,' - ', $custom_text ,'</title>';
else // if not on homepage or board or topic
echo '<title>',   $context['page_title_html_safe'] ,'</title>';
echo'

hi there,

thanks for the help.

here is my current code

<title>',  $context['page_title_html_safe']. ' - ', strpos($context['page_title'],$context['forum_name']) === false ? $context['forum_name']. ' ' : '' , '</title>';

There is no echo ' in the beginning .


when i used your code, it gave me template parsing error.

can you please post your line above and the line below this

<title>',  $context['page_title_html_safe']. ' - ', strpos($context['page_title'],$context['forum_name']) === false ? $context['forum_name']. ' ' : '' , '</title>';

here is the complete code

<meta name="description" content="', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '" />', !empty($context['meta_keywords']) ? '
<meta name="keywords" content="' . $context['meta_keywords'] . '" />' : '';

$custom_text = 'My Custom Text';
if ((empty($_REQUEST['action']) || $_REQUEST['action'] == 'collapse') && empty($_REQUEST['board']) && empty($_REQUEST['topic'])) // on homepage
echo '<title>',  $context['forum_name'] ,'</title>';
elseif (empty($_REQUEST['action']) || !empty($_REQUEST['board']) || !empty($_REQUEST['topic'])) // on board or topic
echo'<title>',  $context['forum_name'] ,' - ', $custom_text ,'</title>';

thank you very much.

I make it work by simply replacing

$context['forum_name']  with this $context['page_title_html_safe']

on 8th line

THANK YOU VERY MUCH AGAIN  :)
