Noob question :: calling page title outside the tag

Post by le_garçon » Fri Dec 22, 2006 6:55 am

Hi all,

Need a bit of help with something which is probably very simple.  :-[

I would like to call the page title (i. e. the last link echoed by the breadcrumb module) into the section of the document - I'm not having much luck.

Any help would be greatly appreciated :-)

George

Just to direct the question in the correct way - Are you doing a template or modules/plugins?

I'm working on a few page templates, but if a module would be easier, I would be eager to learn.

Cheers,

George

Templates are layouts - Modules are things that go in the layouts.

If your trying to put the site name somewhere on the layout it's one thing, if your writing a module in PHP and trying to access the site name that's another.

dw im not that much of a noob! :-P

After thinking it thru, calling the page name from a template would probably be more suitable. How would I do that?

Thanks in advance,

George

Code: Select all

<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename'); ?> 
This should do it.

Is it intended that anything can be called from the config file...

The mainframe global is available everywhere. It's not the the best coding practice but it is possible.
