Titles in Concrete5 Sites

Permalink
Hello!

I note that when you don't add any meta-title data through individual pages properties, the default site name is displayed on the page in the title area.

When I add meta-title data - just that shows.

Is there an easy way to show a hybrid of the two, like how this site does it:http://www.info-rotorua.com

(I want the site name to show on the right hand side, of whatever extra title data is put on the various individual pages).

basically look at elements/header_required.php

That is where the meta stuff is printed if your theme includes it, which it has to do if anything becomes editable :)

So yeah sure you can merge anything or set up all sorts of stuff using that file, but hey you know where to look now.

I don't really want to go hacking code - is there a way to do this through the dashboard?

You mean you want to display the sitename + meta title instead of the page name? like:
Site :: Meta Title

Bingo! Except I don't see that option anywhere..?

Yep, there is no option in the dashboard, you have to copy concrete/elements/header_required.php to your elements/ and customize it.
Hopefully later on it would be available.

Yeah it's important to a lot of SEO people to have complete control over the titles. It seems that the meta-title vs. page title approach we have now does that.. no?


If you want "page name - custom jibberjabber" just write that in meta field. No?

The reason for wanting a hybrid between Meta & the global site name is ...just that... I want to keep the site name global - meaning if a client ever needs to edit the name for whatever reason (and we have had to do this a few times with various concrete5 projects), I don't want to go through and manually edit every page.
