Page Number in Titles

[Rohan_]

Hello,

Currently when we browse different pages of any board or any topic the title in browser is still the same as original..

is it possible to add page 2, page 3 in the titles which appears on browsers title (no changes in url) ?

for example

currently if there is a board Jokes and it have 30 pages. and we are on any page the title is same all the time. but I want if i am on page 5 the title of the page should be this

Jokes - Page 5

not only Jokes on all pages... is it possible ?? Please help

sounds like you may want to look into one of the url rewrite mods, although some of them have been known to cause issues.

i am using pretty urls does it cause any issues ?

[Illori]

many people have reported things not working correctly since installing pretty urls, so yes it does cause issues and has little to no benefit.

Hey, try this. It should work with pretty urls.

In Sources Subs, look for:

Code Select Expand


return $pageindex;


and add before it:

Code Select Expand


global $context;
$context['page_number'] = $start / $num_per_page + 1;


Then in Index.template.php of your theme look for:

Code Select Expand


//<title>', $context['page_title'], '</title>';


And replace it with:

Code Select Expand


<title>', $context['page_title'], isset($context['page_number']) ? ' [Page ' . $context['page_number'] . ']' :'', '</title>';


It's not too language freindly, so translate "Page" if your forum is not in English

hello,

yes it worked.. but need some changes...

I don't want that to be displayed on page 1... page 1 should be only board's name

when the page is displayed like Board [Page 2]

i want a dash before that page thing and don't want those brackets so it will be like this

Board - Page 2

please help

In Index.template.php revert the code back to how it was. Now right at the top of that function, look for:

Code Select Expand


// Show right to left and the character set for ease of translating.


And add before it:

Code Select Expand


if (isset($context['page_number']))
if ($context['page_number'] != 1)
$context['page_title'] .= ' - Page ' . $context['page_number'];


One thing I forgot to mention is that this will show like that for everywhere that a page index is created.

[Rohan_]

Done... Working great now..

can you clear me what does this actually mean ?

"this will show like that for everywhere that a page index is created"

I am little confused. by that you mean everywhere in boards, topics etc. etc. ?? well that's not a problem I wanted it like that

Thank you so much for helping and solving this

Cool, since that's how it will work. Member list, PMs and anywhere else that Pages 1 [2] etc is shown.
