How can I get headings on parent page (ie <h1>) to be set as news title?

Hi, I've been trying to get the page tiltle AND a {title} block change to the title of the news article when the news detail is displayed. I've got the page title changing no probs using this technique:

I've tried setting it in a capture like this...

In my news detail:

Code: Select all

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

In the head of my page template:

Code: Select all

{if isset($news_title)}
{capture assign='page_title'}{$news_title}{/capture}
{else}
{capture assign='page_title'}{title}{/capture}
{/if}

Further down in my template:

Code: Select all

<h1>page_title</h1>

But whenever I do a capture the variable is empty. What am I doing wrong?

Have you tried {$page_title}?...

You'll want to try CGs methods for dynamic titles here:

oops

Yeah I was doing $page_title, just somehow didn't paste it in properly on this forum.

@ziggy - I'll try that, thanks.
