Title Modifications - Question

Hello all,

I have googletap installed and it is working great, but I have a questions that isn't quite related to googletap, but it is related to SE Optimization.

Is there a way to remove the site name prefix in the meta title (the title in the browser top).

For example, when you view a full article it says the following:

Site Name - Article Title

I want it to just say:

Article Title

Any tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi, what you could do is use an if statement to display different titles for the modules. Open header.php and search for

Quote:

function head()

Inside the global place

Quote:

$name

Next search for

Code:

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

Now all you need to do is surround that code with and if statement that if the module name is anything other than the homepage show only the pagetitle for that module so it will look like the following..

Code:

if ($name=='News') {

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

The thing to make sure is that $pagetitle is defined in all your modules, if it not just add somewhere close to the top the following

Quote:

$pagetitle = "Article";

I hope this helps Smile
