It is some time ago that I discovered that the titles in the browser are not very fortunate. The display says site_name followed by the title of the story. For SEO you need it the other way round and I changed the lib-common.php around line 905 from
PHP Formatted Code $pagetitle = ' - ' . $pagetitle;} $header->set_var( 'page_title', $_CONF['site_name'] . $pagetitle ); to PHP Formatted Code $pagetitle = ' ' . $pagetitle;} $header->set_var( 'page_title', $pagetitle . $_CONF['site_name'] ); Wordpress offers a plugin for that called optimal title http://elasticdog.com/2004/09/optimal-title/ and I thought that this might become a variable in the GL config.php |

Shouldn't the hyphen split the new page and the site name?
PHP Formatted Code $pagetitle .= ' - ' ;} $header->set_var( 'page_title', $pagetitle . $_CONF['site_name']); |

Yes, but whatever I did it stayed at the begining of the title and did not split page and site name. I even added 2 spces at the beginning:
$_CONF['site_name'] = '  Geeklog-site'; Anyway, thanks for responding. I`ll come up with some more ideas soon. |

Hi, I edited libcommon.php but dont see any changes in the pagetitle.
Here is the code i entered on line 905: $pagetitle = ' ' . $pagetitle; } $header->set_var( '$page_title', $pagetitle . $_CONF['site_name'] ); furthermore i didn't understand the $ sorry i am no php-programmer. Strange enough the pagetitle is always correct when i choose the print-page layout. does anyone have a clue? Many thanks. ps the site in question is: http://blog.islayinfo.com blog.islayinfo.com |

With version 1.4.1rc1 it is the following code change:
Original lines 967-969: PHP Formatted Code $pagetitle = ' - ' . $pagetitle;} $header->set_var( 'page_title', $_CONF['site_name'] . $pagetitle ); Hacked lib-common.php: PHP Formatted Code $pagetitle = $pagetitle . ' - ';} $header->set_var( 'page_title', $pagetitle . $_CONF['site_name']); I think this should definitely become a variable in config.php to be switched either way. |
