SEO core hack: [name of page - site name] in title

[Sulpher]

A lot of people have been recognizing that default title in Joomla! needs to be enhanced since SEO requires to make titles much flexible. Just an example on fingers on a page What is Joomla?:
Deault page title is What is Joomla? and site name is Joomla!.
We'll do next title: What is Joomla? | [Joomla! (page name | website name)

It's really easy to do.
1. Open the file libraries\joomla\document\html\renderer\head.php, find the line #53:

Code: Select all

function fetchHead(&$document)
    {
 

and add next line:

Code: Select all

global $mainframe;
        $SiteName    = $mainframe->getCfg('sitename');
 

so, then find the line:

Code: Select all

        $strHtml .= $tab.'<title>'.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).'</title>'.$lnEnd;
 

and replace it on next one:

Code: Select all

        $strHtml .= $tab.'<title>'.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).' - '.$SiteName.'</title>'.$lnEnd;        
 

That's all.
