Browser title - how do add website's name

thepisu · Post by **thepisu** » Wed Aug 15, 2007 6:17 pm

Hi, searched the forum for this, but without luck...

I just installed Joomla 1.5 RC1 online (http://www.thepisu.tk), all feels ok, but I can't find how to add the website's title on the browser title bar....

In example: if the page is named "Blog", and my site name is "thePisu website", I want that the browser title become "thePisu website - Blog". That was default in Joomla 1.0.x.... There is this feature in 1.5?

Thanks,
Pisu

I noticed the same problem. Here's what I found.

In the file components\com_content\views\view.html.php around line 84, change the line:

$document->setTitle($article->title);

to

$document->setTitle($mainframe->getCfg('sitename'). ' - ' .$article->title);

That worked for me.

You forgot the subdir "article", but it works!! Thanks!

Now, I think that this should be a default behavior of Joomla, not only for article title, but also for menu items...

I had the same problem. Used your suggestion and it worked - Brilliant.

Unfortunately my home page still put the annoying message "Welcome to the Front Page" in the title bar.

Any ideas? Am I maybe looking at a template issue? Where can you set the page title in 1.5?

Thanks for your help. John

Reporting from this post:
http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic ... #msg940718

To change "Welcome to the Frontpage", go to Menus > Main Menu. Click 'Home', expand 'Parameters - System' and edit 'Page Title'.

And it works

If you don't want to brake your Joomla installation you could put this into index.php of your template, it has to before <head></head> section:

Code: Select all

$this->setTitle($mainframe->getCfg('sitename'). ' - ' .$this->title);

I tried Teniemi's solution:

$this->setTitle($mainframe->getCfg('sitename'). ' - ' .$this->title);

And this worked except I have an"&" in my website title and it is showing in the browers as & - how can I show it as: &

Cheers

Hi...

For easiest way, use TitleManager extensions :

I've tried it and fine work.
Good luck.

Untested but should work:

Code: Select all

$this->setTitle(html_entity_decode($mainframe->getCfg('sitename'). ' - ' .$this->title));
