Changing Page Titles?

candlefind · February 24th, 2006, 09:56 AM

Hello. Currently, the page title in my browser for every page on my review board is "Candle Review Board - - Powered by ReviewPost" Is there anyway to change this? If so, is there a way I could make the title something different for each page of the board? For example, for the page Yankee Candles, I'd like to have the title include the keywords Yankee Candle. I hope I can do this somehow. Please let me know.

Thanks,
Carolyn

The program passes a title based on the script. For the index it will say your name entered in Admin => Global Options as you have it set Candle Review Board

Now on showproduct script as an example it will pass the product title. You can replace $title with $keywords in the printheader line in the showproduct.php file example if say you want to show keywords.

Code:

Hi Chuck,

Thanks for your quick reply. So would the code then look like this?...

if ( !empty($keywords) )
printheader( $cat, " $keywords" );
else
printheader( $cat, " $bigimage" );

What keywords would it be picking up to use in the title? I'm confused about that since I can't enter separate keywords for each page on the board.

Thanks,
Carolyn

Yes that looks right it would use the keywords on the photo

candlefind · February 24th, 2006, 01:06 PM

Hi Chuck,

I don't use photos on my board.

Chuck S · February 24th, 2006, 01:25 PM

Keywords on the products. You know the keywords you enter when you upload a product.

candlefind · February 24th, 2006, 02:06 PM

Oh, I must have taken that field out from my "Add Product" page. Here's that page on my board, a.k.a. "Add Company"...

Could you please give me the code to put that field back in there and explain exactly where to put it?

Thanks,
Carolyn

I show your template has keywords in it. Make sure in your admin area you have show keywords set to yes

candlefind · February 24th, 2006, 04:05 PM

Hi Chuck,

I just checked and I have the keywords set to no. I want the keywords in the title, but I didn't want the keywords listed on the page for all the viewers to see. Question...if I entered "Yankee Candles" as the keyword phrase for my Yankee Candle page and set the keywords to yes, what would the page title be...just Yankee Candles?

Thanks,
Carolyn

Chuck S · February 24th, 2006, 08:22 PM

well you need to enable keywords to have users enter and use keywords.

The title would show

YOUR GALLERY NAME - KEYWORDS

candlefind · February 25th, 2006, 10:57 AM

Oh, is the purpose of the keywords for my visitors to be able to find what their looking for on the board through the board search engine?

Also, when you say the title would show...."Your Gallergy Name - Keywords," what's the Gallery Name? Is that what the whole board is called or is the Gallery name something else?

Thanks,
Carolyn

Chuck S · February 25th, 2006, 11:07 AM

Exactly keywords are keywords

Gallery Name it's what you call your whole board in admin global options

Thanks for the quick reply Chuck! I'll give it a go and if I have any other questions, I'll reply to this thread.

Thanksm

Hi Chuck,

I know we were talking about this a while ago, but I finally have the time today to try it. I can't find the code in the showproduct.php file you were referring to before...

Where is it? I don't see that on showproduct.php.

Thanks,
Carolyn

Chuck S · April 24th, 2006, 11:35 AM

it is there but then again I am going by the current version which is 3.3 or when we where discussing this 3.2

candlefind · April 24th, 2006, 11:59 AM

Oh, so I'm not seeing it probably because I have an older version?

Thanks,
Carolyn

Hi Chuck,

I know we talked about this month's ago, but I finally tried it on the Yankee Candle page on my board and the keyword "Yankee" I entered is not showing up in my browser's page title. I modified the code like you said to in your first reply to my initial message above in showproduct.php, uploaded it, set my keywords to yes in admin, added the keyword Yankee on my Yankee Candle page and it's not working. What am I doing wrong? Here's the link to my Yankee page for your reference...

well its more like this is what you want

Code:

Content visible to verified customers only.

candlefind · June 18th, 2006, 09:11 AM

Thanks Chuck..it's working now. Now my title is this...

"Candle Review Board - Yankee - Powered by ReviewPost"

Is there anyway to get the "Candle Review Board" and the "Powered by ReviewPost" out of the title so I can just have my Yankee keywords? What I'm trying to do is get the pages indexed in the search engines...so far none of them are indexed so I thought maybe the title would help.

Thanks,
Carolyn

Hi Chuck,

We'd like to change our page titles as well, at every level if possible. Where do the $keywords come from? Not the keywords in the product editor I hope. The header file defined for the category in the category editor? What's the format?

Thanks,
Zig
