UBB.Developers Forums UBB.threads 6 V6 Modifications Archived Mods [6.2] Simple Mod: Better Page Titles

I dont know how many of you used tabbed browsers, but I use Mozilla. And there is nothing worse (well, almost nothing worse) than a line of tabs all marked "Viewing list of forums" - ACK!

I dont know which tab is which. Not to mention that many search engines put more weight on the page title and many metatags.

Therefore, I wanted to make sure my website name was a part of the title.

Find this in ubbt.inc.php (the send_header function):



And add this line ABOVE it:



Presto! Now the tabs show which sites I am looking at (if they all did this, that is) and I get a title specific to my site. Of course you could put whatever you wanted here to touch up your title.

(Just call me The Simple Mods Guy).

Nice but in which file should we search for this?

Ok for all who do not know its ubbt.inc.php

Sorry, just editted that to clarify.

good one Michael... I might have 10-15 windows open and they all say 'Viewing blah blah blah'

This is great -- thanks. I do think it will add some search engine appeal to my board.

Very cool.

Could probably also do:

$inputTitle = "{$config['title']}: $inputTitle";


Then you could edit the sites title in the Config file.

But this is a great idea and should be standard.
Thanks Michael.

how does it affect the 'who's online' showing where people are? nada?

It shouldn't. The who's online is matched to the online.php language file by the name of the script. (showflat, ubbthreads, postlist etc..)

So I think it'll be just fine.

I have the name of my site in the ubbt_header.tmpl file where $inputTitle is inserted which works just as well and don't need hacking. =]

So, Allen, how about adding this one here - would make it easier for me to find this when I need it! lol

Done.

I used this line, so it gets the title from the config file:

$inputTitle = "{$config['title']}: $inputTitle";
