Page titles at Nukecops

Posted: Mon Nov 08, 2004 6:19 pm

I see that page titles at Nukecops keep changing with every page. I have also used one such mode for my site, but it just shows the module folder's name in the title. Cant the mod be modified to show the custom module name, as in the module block?

Hmm so is there a way? I am bumping this post, maybe Evaders overlooked this!

How do I get custom module names to become dynamic page titles?

I honestly don't know. But since you asked for me specifically... Rolling Eyes

I'll reply on posts that I have a chance with. This one... well, it must be a feature of the NC package probably. I have no clue if its a seperate mod that can be applied to other Nukes

I asked for you specifically Evaders because you have been the first to reply to most of my post! Laughing

But please cant you find out? I need such a mod, and I have searched and searched then I posted about it at Nukecops. And even if there might not be one, can some programmer take my idea and make one?

These might help:

Or, you can Google it:

I did this to the forums on my web site, a while back, chevrons and all. When I get a chance, I'll look around and see what I changed. However, the links above will probably explain it.

I've also been developing a DMOZ 'Open Directory Project' port for PHP-Nuke. Making 'page titles' for it was quite a challenge. If all you're looking for is an example of how to generate dynamic page titles using PHP, I'll be happy to post that code here. Maybe it will give you some ideas... Wink

But this does not help, if you visit my site, you will notice that for my custom coded modules, the title is the name of the folder of that module. But in modules administration, we can put custom module names. I want to port this dynamic titles addon to work with these custom names instead of the folder names.

If you can mod them for me. Hereis the original code>>

Hrm...

'Sixone' and 'Raven' patched that code a while back. Try this version:

http://www.netflake.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Downloads&file=index&req=viewdownloaddetails&lid=26

See what it does for you, and I'll check it out too. Looks interesting... Wink

Posted: Thu Nov 11, 2004 9:00 pm

Sorry Vin, its the same.Could you ask Raven and Sixone to patch it to work with custom module names, which are stored in the variable $custom_title ?

Posted: Fri Nov 12, 2004 2:13 am

Heh! This is a fun script! Very Happy

I just got home and started playing around with it. I see what you're saying about the custom names. For instance, I have 'Coppermine Photo Gallery' on my web site. While the module name is 'coppermine', I chose to call it 'Gallery.' However, when you click the 'Gallery' link, 'coppermine' comes up in the page title. Ugh...

This dynamic page title hack is one of those scripts, like GT, where you can get as carried away as you want, or you can keep it simple. The idea is to make SEO-friendly page titles.

In this particular instance, all I care about is that the page title says 'Gallery', not 'coppermine'. That's a no-brainer. All I have to do is add this to the script...

Code:

// Coppermine Photo Gallery
if($name=="coppermine"){
$customname = "Gallery";
$newpagetitle = "$sitename $item_delim $customname";
$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);
}

'coppermine' now becomes 'Gallery' in the page title...

Here's another example. I have a module called 'Docs'. However, it actually contains 'Legal Notices', so that's what I call it. To change 'Docs' to 'Legal Notices', here's what I did...

Code:

// Legal Notices
if($name=="Docs"){
$customname = "Legal Notices";
$newpagetitle = "$sitename $item_delim $customname";
$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);
}

Simple pimple, huh?

In yet another example, I wanted to retain the page titles that are being generated by the module itself. In other words, I don't want this script jacking around with the page titles being generated by the module. This is the code I used...

Code:

// Open Directory Project
if($name=="ODP"){
$newpagetitle = "$sitename $pagetitle";
$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);
}

'$pagetitle' is the name of the string that the 'ODP' module is generating. All I am doing here is adding my web site name to it.

Dittos for the 'Forums'. I don't want this script messing with the page titles that phpBB is generating. I changed the 'Forums' section to this...

Code:

// Forums
if($name=="Forums"){
$newpagetitle = "$sitename $pagetitle";
$newpagetitle = check_html($newpagetitle, nohtml);
}

Is this the kind of information you were looking for? Wink

Yeah! Dude you're awesome! That was exactly what I was looking for!

I think you ought to move this topic to tips and tricks and make it a sticky! Wink

well..i see all these mods and articles here. but does any of them work with nuke 7.5 and above?
i failed to make ne of them work with my 7.5
please help someone!

Posted: Mon May 09, 2005 7:21 pm

I have 7.6 and they work well with 7.6 and I have used them with 7.5 too. Could you explain your problem Slashdot?

BTW, I need it to work with $custom_title
