News title on the title of the page for cmsms 1.5.2+

[WebGirl]

Hi viebig,

this looks great - I've just installed News module - and trying to work out how to get Pretty URLs - still trying

Once I've done that, I'll be able to come back here and try to work this out for my client site as well - thanks!

VIEBIG!!

Thank you thank you! I kept putting this off because it looked too difficult, but it only took a minute or two and I AM SO HAPPY with the results!

I used it on CMSMS 1.6 (yes, I know I have to upgrade )

Cheers & Hooray to Viebig!

Thanks for all this info. I got the news title working AOK but have one small tweak that is racking my brain.

The news title code now displays >> Site Name - Page Title
I am trying to switch that to >> Page Title - Site Name

Sounds simple enough but my hack attempts result in errors so far. Existing code looks like this, as described earlier in this post.

Code: Select all

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

Can someone help me flip the site and page titles please?

Thank you

Hi DCX, assuming your are capturing content and assigning variables correctly? (Check out the Smarty manual for capture and assign)
Your code will work, I use something similar.

[DCX]

My code does work. I am just trying to display the Page Title first instead of the Site Name first. Trying to flip them around. I keep getting smarty errors. Thanks.

maybe the smarty errors come from something else, your code looks fine. What is the error-message exactly?

[DCX]

I think I am saying this in a confusing way.

I am using the above and it shows "SiteName - PageTitle" with no trouble. Like this.

Code: Select all

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

I am trying to change it to show "PageTitle - SiteName" instead. So I tried this. It does not work.

Code: Select all

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

I tried many variations aside from that one. None of them work so far.

[Jos]

Code: Select all

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

The check on the pagetitle has to stay in  ;)

edit: reading back your former posts, there is some mayor inconsistancy in it too  ::)  :)

edit2: And wath for the $ signs for $pagetitle, I edited the code you most likely want it.

[DCX]

Thank you Jos! It works like a charm.

[Jos]

And it's exactly the same code you placed yourself in your first post here  ;D

You can even write it a little shorter

Code: Select all

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

nevermind... I thought I was onto something special... but after I re-read the first post, it ended up that I basically did the same thing and I wasn't really as original as I thought.
