phpbb forum changing browser title for topics????

Client Joined: Dec 04, 2004 Posts: 757

Hello I was looking at this forums browser titles for each topic and the title changes in the browser per topic etc which is great! how do you go about doing this as it will help so much in google as opposed to having the same site title per page.
Cheers

Then, in header.php, edit the function head() and modify

to

Code:

//    echo "<title>$sitename $pagetitle</title>\n";


   include("includes/dynamic_titles.php");

Maybe u can help me.

I inserted your code:

Code:

// Forums


if($name=="Forums"){


global $p,$t,$forum,$f;


$newpagetitle = "$name";


//$newpagetitle = "phpNuke $name";


    if($p) {


        $sql = "SELECT post_subject, post_id FROM ".$prefix."_bbposts_text WHERE post_id='$p'";


        $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


        $title = $row[post_subject];


        $post = $row[post_id];





        $newpagetitle = "$title";


    }

(this is just part of it)

And I don't get any post object - title on top:
http://www.slo-foto.net/ftopicp-40015.html#40015

But if you click on first post, u'll get it:
http://www.slo-foto.net/ftopicp-40009.html#40009

Do you have any idea what could be wrong?

Anyone know what needs to be changed in the code below to get this to work correctly with NSN Group Downloads?

Code:

// Downloads


if($name=="Downloads"){


global $d_op,$cid,$lid;


$newpagetitle = "$item_delim $name";


    if($d_op=="viewdownload") {


        $sql = "SELECT title, parentid FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_categories WHERE cid='$cid'";


        $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


        $cat = $row[title];


        $parent = $row[parentid];


            if($parent=="0"){


                $newpagetitle = "$name $cat";


            }


            else{


                $sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_categories WHERE cid='$parent'";


                $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


                $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


                $parent = $row[title];


                $newpagetitle = "$name $parent $cat";


            }


    }


   if($d_op=="viewdownloaddetails" || $d_op=="getit") {


       $sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_downloads_downloads WHERE lid='$lid'";


      $result = $db->sql_query($sql);


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);


      $dl = $row[title];


      $newpagetitle = "$name $dl";


   }


}

I thought it would be as simple as pointing it to the correct Data Base tables but that didnt work.

Thanks for any help.

I've implemented this great modification and now looking into doing the same for the articles I write.

The article pages are php files with the <title> tags in them, so I'd like to tell dynamic_titles.php to check for these tags and use them.

I've figured that the section required to be modified is the following:

// Catchall for anything we don't have custom coding for
if($newpagetitle==""){
$name=ereg_replace("_", " ", "$name");
$newpagetitle="$name";
}

I'm just trying to figure out what exactly I need to change to get this to work.

Your help is much appreciated!

Try this instead and see if you like it:

Code:




if($name=="Downloads"){ 


global $d_op,$cid,$lid; 


$newpagetitle = "$item_delim $name"; 


    if($cid) { 


        $sql = "SELECT title, parentid FROM ".$prefix."_nsngd_categories WHERE cid='$cid'"; 


        $result = $db->sql_query($sql); 


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 


        $cat = $row[title]; 


        $parent = $row[parentid]; 


            if($parent=="0"){ 


                $newpagetitle = "$name $cat"; 


            } 


            else{ 


                $sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_nsngd_categories WHERE cid='$parent'"; 


                $result = $db->sql_query($sql); 


                $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 


                $parent = $row[title]; 


                $newpagetitle = "$name $parent $cat"; 


            } 


    } 


   if($d_op=="getit") { 


       $sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_nsngd_downloads WHERE lid='$lid'"; 


      $result = $db->sql_query($sql); 


        $row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result); 


      $dl = $row[title]; 


      $newpagetitle = "$name $dl"; 


   } 


}

In reality, I rreally do not like how the variables in this script are not checked for input and intval'd, etc., and I may re-write this to be more GoogleTap'ish to make it really easy for folks to add new "DTs". Some day....

Regards

Thanks it works partially which is better than what I could get it to do. It still doesn’t list the downloads name in the title bar when you view the downloads description.

Posted: Fri Dec 16, 2005 5:21 pm

Yes, I noticed that too, but also noticed that the base Downloads one (for core nuke) did not as well?? I just didn't have time to include it as yet. If I do, I will post it here again. Of course, if you get their first, please post it back here for the general community.

Cheers

Dang, I love how it does for my Forum titles, but when I use sweetphp.com events calendar, the title for each calendar I created there disappears...

Gosh, how do I start explaining to author of the calendar for the code change suggestion in order to get the code change suggestion? Send him/her link to this topic?

It's a great modification.
