Showing the News Article Title in the title when using the detailpage parameter.

[calguy1000]

Actually, this is a variation on another example I wrote on how to display the article template, but it's very useful to know that you can change the title area of a detail page, when using the 'detailpage=' parameter of the news or any other module.  Here it is in just a few simple steps:

1) Modify your news detail templates and add this line:

Code: Select all

{assign var='detail_title'  value=$entry->title}

2) Capture your page content in a variable
    a) Add this code into the section of your page template:

Code: Select all

{capture assign='captured_content'}{content}{/capture}

    b) Replace the {content} tag lower in your template with {$captured_content}

3) Replace the title section of your page template to look something like this:

Code: Select all

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

This works great! Just tried it out. Thanks, am.

Why is it necessary to capture the content in step 2? I can't seem to get my head around it :S

[calguy1000]

It's an 'order of execution' thing.... unless you execute the news module early, the smarty variable for the page title won't be adjusted until after the ... tag is already set.... therefore you need to do the capture stuff, ahead of the title.

Ahh, i see now. I have implimented this on a big site and it is working well. I never would have figured this out myself

This method is also useful if one wants change title of page for news, search results and so on.

Has anybody got this working in 1.3?  Doesn't seem to work for me.

[flack]

Worked great for me!
cmsmadesimple version 1.3.1

I did exactly as in calguy1000´s post.

Hello Alby

That is working just great but I´m facing something strange (i dont know if its me :>)



That works:

Code: Select all

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

but if try after that somethign like

Code: Select all

<h1>{$pagetitle}</h1>

It doesnt work.. any hints..

ps.

This works too

Code: Select all

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

the problem resides on the second call

[alby]

the problem resides on the second call

humm, confirm 
I don't know if is the second call or in body process

Alby

[RonnyK]

But the -call is intended for the header, not for the address-bar.... There is used..

Or am I reading wrong?

Sorry guys,

I get confused onthat new template processing.

It wont work on body, not this way, but it will work in any part of the head section.

I did a workaround like:

Code: Select all

{content block='meta_description' wysiwyg='false' assign='meta_description'}
{content block='meta_keywords' wysiwyg='false' assign='meta_keywords'}
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<__html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
{if isset($pagetitle)}
{capture assign='the_pagetitle'}{$pagetitle} - {sitename}{/capture}
{else}
{capture assign='the_pagetitle'}{title} - {sitename}{/capture}
{/if}
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="{$meta_description|strip_tags|summarize:30:""|trim}"/>
<meta name="keywords" content="{$meta_keywords}" />
<title>{$the_pagetitle}</title>
{stylesheet}
</head>
</__body>
{content assign='mycontent'}
<div id="outer">
	<div id="header">
		<h1>Guilherme Viebig</h1>
		<h2>Web Standards, Acessibilidade e SEO</h2>
	</div>
	<div id="menu">
{menu template="minimal_menu.tpl" number_of_levels=1}
		<div class="clear"></div>
	</div>
	<div id="content">
		<div id="primaryContentContainer">
			<div id="primaryContent">
{breadcrumbs}
{if isset($pagetitle)}
 >> {$pagetitle}
{/if}
<h1>
{if isset($pagetitle)}
{$pagetitle}
{else}
{title}
{/if}
</h1>

this works, but if I put the $the_pagetitle variable on body section it wont work

[gianpiero]

Please,
can I assume that it works on latest V. "cmsmadesimple-1.4.1-full" ?

thanks in advance
