[SOLVED] Adding to/setting page title from within a module

Is it possible? I've tried

Code:

$contentobj = $gCms->variables['content_obj'];
$contentobj->mName = "Lorem ipsum | {$contentobj->mName}";

but by the time this code runs the page title has already been set. I could've sworn that I've come across this before and found a solution for it, but I think that was well over a year ago and I can't even remember what project that was for nevermind being able to find it in the forums.

Right after I posted this I had a hunch where I did it and was right. For anyone else who is curious how to do this it is as follows.

In your page template remove

Code:

{process_pagedata}

and replace it with

Code:

{content assign="capturedcontent"}

Then change your title tag to

Code:

<title>{if isset($pagetitle)}{$pagetitle}{else}{title}{/if}</title>

or structure it however you want. Then from within your module you can set {$pagetitle} to whatever you want.
Then replace

Code:

{content}

with

Code:

{$capturedcontent}

Your instructions are just... well wrong... I blogged and wrote an article about this YEARS ago.

Step 1:
ensure $config['process_whole_template'] = false; in the config.php

Step 2:
In your module template code (usually a detail template) do something like:
{assign var='title' value=$entry->title}

Step 3:
In your page template:
<title>{if isset($title)}{$title}{else}{title}{/if}</title>

That's much easier. Thanks.
