Get titles to work in custom pages

[Watson]

When I add a custom page my title at the top doesnt work, I am adding them in templates, and also putting in a page title when adding a new page but it doesnt seem to work at all, its just blank

Any help?

Open your forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php file and look for:
global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vboptions, $vba_options, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST;


Replace that with:
global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vboptions, $vba_options, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $pagetitle;


Then edit your 'adv_portal' template and look for:
<title>$vboptions[hometitle]</title>

Replace that with:
<title>$vboptions[hometitle] <if condition="$pagetitle"> - $pagetitle</if></title>

I think Brian misunderstood what you were asking for...

To use the page title from the CMPS page we have to set $pagetitle.

In forum/includes/vba_cmps_include_bottom.php find the original:

global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vboptions, $vba_options, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST;


Or the following if you've alread edited your files as Brian described:

global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vboptions, $vba_options, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $pagetitle;


And replace it with:

global $pages, $stylevar, $headinclude, $header, $footer, $vboptions, $vba_options, $navbar, $cusid, $_REQUEST, $pagetitle;

if(!$pagetitle)
$pagetitle = $pages['title'];



I did it that way because Brian was implying that $pagetitle could be set another way (perhaps in a custom page/module php file). This allows you to do it either way. :)

[Brian]

$pagetitle *should* already be set in the construct_navbar() function if I remember correctly (that's how it's created for vB pages...)

[Pryce]

If the page has the nav bar disabled would that affect it then?

[Brian]

Yup, that could do it.

[Pryce]

:) That was my issue then. Good luck Watson. Thanks again Brian!

It worked for me :) thanks Brian. Shouldnt this be added by default to the CMPS .zip

I think is important.

Finally! I couldn't find this anywhere for the longest time :D

Worked like a charm... votes for making this a sticky thread? Yah.

The yah's have it :D

Cheers,

well.. i still think this should be added to the future versions of vbcmps :)

Hm...this is not working for me at all.

[tormodg]

Ah...never mind. I pasted it right in the adv_no_perms whatever bit. Wrong place, obviously. Need some sleep. :)
