Paginate titles

[Fabiolas]

Anyway to paginate titles?

For example, i have one topic with 3 pages and i want this:

First Page: "Title of topic"
Second Page: "Title of topic - Page 2"
Third Page: "Title of topic - Page 3"

This is really important for better rankings in search engines because prevent duplicated titles.

Thanks!

Solution:

Open the file index.template.php, it should be located in the theme folder of whichever theme you're using.

Search for the following 2 line:

Code Select Expand

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

Replace it with:

Code Select Expand

  if($context['page_info']['current_page'] > 1)
  {
    echo "<title>" . $context['page_title'] . " [Page " . $context['page_info']['current_page'] . "]</title>";
  }
  else
  {
    echo "<title>" . $context['page_title'] . "</title>";
  }

Save changes, upload the file.
It's as simple as that.

Lord only know why there's so much static noise over this issue.

If anyone tries this, please let me know how you get on.

This doesn't work for me, as I have a different line for my index.template.php:

Code Select Expand


<meta name="keywords" content="' . $context['meta_keywords'] . '" />' : '', '
<title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '</title>';


I tried to delete this line, and add yours but it gives me an error.

I'd appreciate if anyone could me with this, thanks in advance!

Try to change all 'page_title' ocurrences in the suggested solution with 'page_title_html_safe'.

What error?

If this is your existing code:

Code Select Expand

<meta name="keywords" content="' . $context['meta_keywords'] . '" />' : '', '
<title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'], '</title>';

change it to

Code Select Expand

<meta name="keywords" content="' . $context['meta_keywords'] . '" />' : '', '
<title>', $context['page_title_html_safe'],
        ($context['page_info']['current_page'] > 1)? ' - Page ' . $context['page_info']['current_page']: '',
        '</title>';

Good solution.

Sorry for not answering with much details, but the solution provided by MrPhil worked out the box for me.
