How to get the meta title to display sitename and link topic

[Christoffer Bol]

Hello

Can anyone tell me how to get the meta title to display like this, when exploring categories:

Site.com - Categoryname

And when exploring a link (link details)

Site.com - Linkname

Well there is two places you can control that.

First in admin panel:
Go to:
Configuration
General Configuration

You'll then see:
Site title
Suffix for page titles

fill in what you want in those 2.

And if you want to flip flop those try:
In header.tpl find:
<title>{$title}{$config.suffix}</title>

And change the order of {$title} and {$config.suffix}

Thanks :) But now is the sitename only displayed at index..

I want sitename, then subpages.. Like this:

Site.com - New Links

If i add sitename before $title in header.tpl... then its displaying duplicate of the site name... How would it be to rebuild the title thing in index.php?

Hi
Do you have this functionality enabled?
admin panel->configuration->general configuration

Full path to category in title should be enabled

[Christoffer Bol]

I just found this under general config:

Enable path field for categories

[Simon Gooffin]

I enabled this now:

Enable path field for categories

But nothing happens
not

Enable path field for categories

You should enable
Full path to category in title

[Christoffer Bol]

Yes i know, but its not in my general config.. maybe its in the pro version

[Simon Gooffin]

Ahh, I did not know you have free version. yes, this functionality is already built in our pro version

[Christoffer Bol]

Ok :) Im going to buy it later! Trust me ;)

How should this lines look like to not get duplicate sitename in title if i add sitename before $title in header.tpl?

Talking about on index page... index.php

$title = ($category['id'] > 0) ? $category['title'] : $gDirConfig['site'];
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('title', $title);

[Simon Gooffin]

actually there is no need for you to change template
there are two options in your admin panel configuration
Site title - title for your index page
Suffix for page titles - added to the end of every page title

So just set appropriate values and that's all

[Christoffer Bol]

You dont understand :)

I want the title to look like this on every page:

Mysite.com - Title of subpage

Example:

Mysite.com - New Links
Mysite.com - Electronics
Mysite.com - Contact Us

And the index page making problems becouse the title of that page it the sitename so it looks like this on index:

Sitename.com - Sitename.com

Got it? :P

[Simon Gooffin]

please carefully read Greg's advice. It's exactly what you are trying to achieve then:
And change the order of {$title} and {$config.suffix}

[Christoffer Bol]

I tried that, and added sitename in suffix field in general config.

Then the titles are going like this:

Sitename.com - New LinksSitename.com

Am i stupid or what... haha

And if i change the order of title and suffix its going to display bakwards..

New Links - Sitename.com

[Simon Gooffin]

Ahh, I suppose I know what confused you. Your other pages except New Links should be displayed fine

*** open new-links.php and find this code 1***
/** defines page title **/
$gDirSmarty->assign('title', $gDirLang['new_links'].$gDirConfig['suffix']);

*** change it to the following ***
/** defines page title **/
$gDirSmarty->assign('title', $gDirLang['new_links']);

*** save changes ***
