CGBlog and geting title Topic is solved

[andrewvideouk]

Hi I am trying to get the title from a blog post into the main template. I am using the defut temples are in the CGBlog.

I found this page which might be out of date and for CMSMS version 1.12 and I have the lastest version.
https://www.sigmaweb.co.uk/2015/09/CGBl ... s-to-Posts.

Also the site http://www.i-do-this.com/ is download.

Can someone point me to a updated guide please or how to.

Thank you

In the top of the blog detail template, you could set something like:

Code: Select all

{$blogtitle=$entry->title scope=global}

Then in your page template you should have access to $blogtitle, which you can use for conditionally changing $title or whatever else you like. I often do something like:

Code: Select all

{if $blogtitle}
  {$title=$blogtitle}
{else}
  {$title={title}}
{/if}
<title>{$title} - {sitename}</title>

Personally I like this approach: https://cmscanbesimple.org/blog/base-cm ... d-metatags

Especially because it doesn't need the if-then-else construct.

The method I describe here collects all possible (default) values and passes them to the template with general names, so you can use them for multiple purposes. Simple, but very powerful!

I well have a read and add it to my template. That so much better to do that as my template is getting messy with if-then-else.

Thank you guys.
