Joomla! 1.0.12 & smf bridge wrapped page titles do not show

arillas · April 12, 2007, 02:07:32 AM

Hello again, I noticed that the page titles of my smf do not show while it is bridged & wrapped with the joomla site. it only shows the title of the main joomla site.
What I would like to do is while the forum is used to be able to have the smf titles on the top. Is this possible with the bridge?

I would also like to change the index.teplate.php (SMF default Theme) that in a way all the user details, date ,avatar and etc. not to show on the wrapped forum as it will all be desplayed on the left side of the site by the bridge's module,
Screen shot follows.
I have no experience in PHP so if anyone could show me how, it will be much apreciated.

This should help with your first question...

Thank you ,
The advise from this site (1st step) was this:

QuoteStep 1: Insert this between the <head></head> codes just above "mosShowHead();"

if(!empty($context['page_title']))

$mainframe->setPageTitle($context['page_title']);

It should look like this:

<head>

<?php

if ( $my->id ) {

initEditor();

}

if(!empty($context['page_title']))

$mainframe->setPageTitle($context['page_title']);

mosShowHead();

?>

but I'm using a customized template and the first lines look like the folowing.
There is not a mosShowHead(); tag! How can I add it on my template?

Code Select

<?php echo "<?xml version=\"1.0\"?>";
defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) or die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
	<link rel="alternate" title="<?php echo $mosConfig_sitename; ?>" href="<?php echo $GLOBALS['mosConfig_live_site']; ?>/index2.php?option=com_rss&no_html=1" type="application/rss+xml" />
	<?php include ("editor/editor.php"); ?>
	<?php initEditor(); ?>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />
	<?php include ("includes/metadata.php"); ?>
	<link href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/arillas/css/template_css.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
	<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $mosConfig_live_site;?>/templates/arillas/images/favicon.ico" />
</head>
<body leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0">

QuoteThere is not a mosShowHead(); tag!

Then you should get a better template.

arillas · April 12, 2007, 06:47:08 AM

There isn't a way to add it on my template?

Orstio · April 12, 2007, 06:49:05 AM

You can probably put it right after this:

Code Select

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; <?php echo _ISO; ?>" />

But, your site might not validate.

arillas · April 12, 2007, 07:09:50 AM

hmm I ll try and let you know can you please show me the exact line I have to add? I'm very scary doing thins like that.
I could also fix another template for Joomla and have it asighned it to the smf
Which do you reccomend?

arillas · April 12, 2007, 08:36:32 AM

YES!! it worked on my local instalation.!!
Thanks a lot!
it seems that all functions are working too! what did you mean by "your site may not validate"?

Kindred · April 12, 2007, 08:38:43 AM

it may not validate as XHTML....

arillas · April 12, 2007, 01:39:50 PM

I stil have not found a solution with the folowing:

you'll have to edit your theme's index.template.php

arillas · April 12, 2007, 03:09:31 PM

Yes I know what I would like is just a tag that keeps the header Shrinked without the posibility to expand it.

I have tryed to edid many times the index.template.php for simple thinks.
This time I'm tryong to take off all the thinks I said but I always end up with an error.
I;m not so good in php you know.!

arillas · April 23, 2007, 07:38:40 AM

I have just realized that allthough everything runs OK , the sourcecode of my joomla bridged smf shows two copies of keywords and html tags.
How bad is this for the searsch engines?
Can I use "Joomla Mambo Tag Cleanup"
After I did the previous addition when I started this thread?

regards,

Dimitris

Kindred · April 23, 2007, 08:07:39 AM

yes, the clean up mod should help you, so long as you are using the default theme in SMF

arillas · April 24, 2007, 01:39:21 AM

Thanks,
I'm using a coppy of default theme which is actually the same theme but renamed and the ccs and buttons are a bit changed. would that work on it?

Kindred · April 24, 2007, 07:49:08 AM

The mod will ony make changes to files in the default directory.

Any other theme directory, you will have to manually apply the changes.

OK how do I do that?

read the install.xml in the mod package and apply the changes to your other theme's template files.
