remove just the website name from title tag

[jason1971 +]

Hi there,

Is it possible to remove the website name from the title tag, when you click in to the categories ?

so that you just have the category name appearing in the title tag.????

Also, once you click on to the sub-category name, is it then possible to have JUST the sub-category name showing without both the website name and category names showing

as it appears now
mywebsitename.com>>category name >> sub-category name

would just like the final result to appear in the title tag

sub-category name

hope somebody can hep me if it is possible to do

Thanks

Jason

Its going to take a long series of smarty logic if you have the designer edition or you will have to modify a function if you want to do it via php at the script level.

Since I have no idea which version your running or designer/developer I cant really be more specific.

Jason,

Try this in your layout.tpl file around line 6:

{* Modification to have custom titles for categories *}
   {if $body=='categories/browse.tpl'}
      <title>{$categoryname}</title>
   {else}
      <title>{$sitetitle}</title
   {/if}

What i have done is in administration set the site name to one space.
Then from a series of IF statments named each page.

This question comes up often in many forms as part of a general problem in defining titles, meta descriptions, etc and using those variables on the page as well. Many people may find this post of interest as it should bring most of it together.

First, thanks for the valuable information of this post.

This question is to both Seymourjames & Mike... I was reviewing this post & and the associated sticky post from seymourjames.

In your example Seymour, your logic is based on the .php page while in Mikes example logic is based on the .tpl file being requested.

What are the pro's & con's of each? Which provides more flexibilty, easier management and better scalablity & performance?

Thanks in advance!

I believe it is really more a matter of personal choice. Obviously, my post in this thread was for one specific element, <title>, whereas seymourjames' post covered the plethora of elements.

There are two observations that I would make:
1. The template file is already assigned whereas in Seymourjames' example there is an additional call for the URI.
2. I don't keep my individual items in a separate language file.

Those items could be good or bad from a personal perspective.

It is just personal choice. I prefer testing the .php in general because that is how I think about the system. I also prefer to keep all text if it is text to be displayed or used in a metatag for example within one file (i.e. english.php file).
