Change page title only for story page - Google

[hadock]

Hello,

I want to know how personnalize the HTML page title for the story page title only...

Why : To have only story title on page title and optimise google ranking.
When Google parse my pages, the title keep is always " MY SITE NAME - MY STORIE TITLE"

I will prefer to have : " STORIE TITLE" only on page title

Do you know what I have to modify to keep only story title ?

Please, help me, I had search many hours and try a lot of change without the good result...


Thanks !

And sorry for my poor english...

Hello Dash,

Sorry but I just try your modificiation...
And the result is not good...

After modification the page title is the Website Name and title only... The story title is not available on the title..

to resume :
for story.php on line 78 :

$main_smarty->assign('posttitle', " - ". $link->title);
---> I got Website name + story title
(normal and standard config)

$main_smarty->assign($link->title);
---> I got only the Website name on page title...

$main_smarty->assign('posttitle');
---> I got only the Website name on page title...

Strange...

Someone can help me to sovle this issue ?

Thanks

In the file /templates/yget/pligg.tpl instead of this at about line 55 :

<title>{$posttitle}</title>

you replace it with :

{if $pagename eq "story"}
<title>{$posttitle|substr:3}</title>
{else}
<title>{$pretitle}{#PLIGG_Visual_Name#}{$posttitle }</title>
{/if}

That way, all other titles are not affected, only when you're looking at a story page. Why I use the Smarty modifier (php command) substr? Because $posttitle has " - " in front of it, so that removes it.

Imagine you want to have your title with uppercase in front of all words, then you would want to use the php function "ucwords" to add it in smarty you append it like this:

<title>{$posttitle|substr:3|ucwords}</title>

Have some fun with php functions (such as strtoupper) but don't break everything :-)

Hello,

I'm using the latest version of Pligg and it seems that the code you wrote here is already in the pligg/tpl file, but it doesn't work for me and I don't get the story title in the page name, can you help?

Thanks.

in yourtemplate/pligg.tpl 9.8.2
search for <title>
replace with this :

PHP Code:

{if $pagename eq "story"}
<title>{$posttitle|substr:3}</title>
{else}
<title>{$pretitle}{#PLIGG_Visual_Name#}{$posttitle }</title>
{/if} 


Works great !!!
Now i have only the title of story in my title :-D
