Custom Page Title

[bitsoft]

Hi,

How can I have a custom page title per page? It is currently set from

Code:

usersc/includes/head_tags

, however, if I want each page to have its own page title, how can I achieve this?

Sorry for the slow response. It's been a crazy week. If you look in users/helpers/helpers.php one of the first functions is

Code:

function currentPage() {

Code:

$uri = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

Code:

$path = explode('/', $uri);

Code:

$currentPage = end($path);

Code:

return $currentPage;

Code:

}

So, basically what you could do is make a database table (page_titles) that has 3 columns

id (int 11, auto incremented, primary key)
page (varchar 255)
title (text)

So then you would write something along the lines of...

Code:

$cp = currentPage();

Code:

$currentPageQ = $db->query("SELECT * FROM page_titles WHERE page = ?,"array($cp));

Code:

$currentPage = $currentPageQ->first();

Then you can do your head tag by echoing

Code:

$currentPage->title;

Hope that helps

Thanks for your response, I'll try it out.

In header.php this code is found:

Code:

<title><?=$settings->site_name;?></title>

The title kan be changed on the fly, without changing us files:
<pre>

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">

    $(document).ready(function() {
        document.title = 'blah';
    });

</script>

</pre>

That's a great workaround, thanks! We're nearing the end of work on version 4.3 and this feature will soon be built in, but this Javascript snippet will work until then.
