SEO ? remove title from encyclopedia

registered · Client Joined: Sep 25, 2003 Posts: 58

Hi Raven and all you other phpnuke wizards ,

I am using/building a very large encyclopedia on my site and i would like to remove the title ENCYCLOPEDIA so that only the title of the encyclopedia term is displayed in the browser window.

I am using dynamic titles and this works great for forums , news, etc... but the encyclopedia is not done. Is this possible and if yes How to do ???

Thanks a lot

In modules/Encuclopedia/languages/lang-english.php find this Define:
define("_ENCYCLOPEDIA","Encyclopedia");
Change it to
define("_ENCYCLOPEDIA","");

Imago spent a lot of time on this some time ago getting the title to be dynamic was kind of a big deal but the code he came up with seems to be just the thing your looking for.

No luck ,

I tried Ravens solution and the solution on nukecops but keep getting the ENCYCLOPEDIA title.

This is the code i included in the dynamic titles file :

Quote:

//Begin Encyclopedia title effort
if($page="index"){
$pagetitle = "Encyclopedia Terms Defined.";
if($tid){
$result = sql_query("select * from ".$prefix."_encyclopedia_text where tid = $tid", $dbi);
while($myrow = sql_fetch_array($result, $dbi))
{
$title = $myrow["title"];
}

{
$pagetitle = "Encyclopedia: $title Defined.";
}
}

}

And this is the code for the encyclopedia index file :

Quote:

find
Code:
$pagetitle = "- "._ENCYCLOPEDIA."";

and add AFTER
Code:
if($eid){
$result = sql_query("select * from ".$prefix."_encyclopedia where eid = $eid", $dbi);
while($myrow = sql_fetch_array($result, $dbi))
{

$title = $myrow["title"];
}

{
$pagetitle = "- "._ENCYCLOPEDIA." - $title";
}
}
if($tid){
$result = sql_query("select * from ".$prefix."_encyclopedia_text where tid = $tid", $dbi);
while($myrow = sql_fetch_array($result, $dbi))
{

$title = $myrow["title"];
}

{
$pagetitle = "- "._ENCYCLOPEDIA." - $title";
}
}

// End of Encyclopedia title effort

Since this post is from march 20 , 2003 i suppose this is very old code and can not work with 7.5.

Somebody cares to take a look at it and make it work ?

Thanks a lot for your time so far.

Try this in your includes/dynamic_titles.php
Might need more work but it should get you started I think.

Code:




// Encyclopedia


if($name=="Encyclopedia"){


global $db,$prefix,$eid;


$newpagetitle = "$name";


    if($eid!="") {


        $sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_encyclopedia WHERE eid='$eid'"; 


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


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


        $rev = $row[title]; 


        $newpagetitle = "$rev";


$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);


    }


}

Great , this is getting me somewhere .

Now the encyclopedia title is shown.
Next step would be the term title.

Where can i make donations ?

Ok, guy's one last effort :

I got it to work with either the different encyclopedia titles or with the term titles but i would like to combine them so the dynamic titles work with both :

These are the two seperate blocks

This is the one for the different encyclopedias

// Encyclopedia
if($name=="Encyclopedia"){
global $db,$prefix,$eid;
$newpagetitle = "$name";
if($eid!="") {
$sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_encyclopedia WHERE eid='$eid'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
$rev = $row[title];
$newpagetitle = "$rev";
$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);
}
}

This is the one for the different terms

// Encyclopedia
if($name=="Encyclopedia"){
global $db,$prefix,$tid;
$newpagetitle = "$name";
if($tid!="") {
$sql = "SELECT title FROM ".$prefix."_encyclopedia_text WHERE tid='$tid'";
$result = $db->sql_query($sql);
$row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result);
$rev = $row[title];
$newpagetitle = "$rev";
$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);
}
}

Who can help me to combine them ?

Thanks a lot
