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

[nicmare]

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}

that works fine in Jamaica. thank you guy

Whats the way to do this for 1.5.1?

Whats the way to do this for 1.5.1?

That is what I'm trying to figure out now. I tried calguy's method but to no avail. I like alby's method but it seems like there should be less to it. I don't understand why you can't just assign a var to it and then refer to it in the title if it's set. If I figure out an alternative method, I will post it up.

Hi,
I tried Calguy's method taken from his website.
But when I add this in my head section:

Code: Select all

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

I get this error (with debug: true):
string(109) "Smarty error: [in tpl_head:22 line 11]: syntax error: unexpected {else} (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 478)" string(129) "Smarty error: [in tpl_head:22 line 18]: syntax error: unclosed tag \{else} (opened line 9). (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 317)"
Notice: Undefined property: CMS_Compiler::$_plugins_code in C:\internet\wamp\www\labneuro\lib\smarty\Smarty.class.php on line 1495

Do I have something not install correctly? I'm using 1.5.1-mle.
Thanks
Mel

If what you pasted is exactly what is in your template you are missing somethings...

Too many {else} w/o another statement after last one, no {/if}...

It didnt work in 1.4.1 Spring garden 

[vedat]

Hi again. Is there any way to work in 1.4.1???

[Dr.CSS]

Yes it works as it supposed to in 1.4.1, you just have to make sure you have it coded correctly...

[cb2004]

Make sure process_whole_template is set to false in the config.php file.

For this to work for me, I had to change:

{if isset($pagetitle)}
{$pagetitle} | {sitename}
{else}
{title} | {sitename}
{else}

to:

{if isset($pagetitle)}
{$pagetitle} | {sitename}
{else}
{title} | {sitename}
{/if}

Where did you get first code that had to be changed, and yes you can't leave the {/if} out or have an {else} w/o something for it...
