Showing Article Title in the Page Title

Author: calguy1000

You can change the title area of a detail page, when using the 'detailpage=' parameter of the news (or any other module).

1. Modify your news detail templates and add this line:

  {assign var='detail_title'  value=$entry->title}

2. Capture your page content in a variable

a. Add this code into the <head> section of your page template:

  {capture assign='captured_content'}{content}{/capture}

b. Replace the {content} tag lower in your template with {$captured_content}

3. Replace the title section of your page template to look something like this:

  {if isset($detail_title)}
    <title>{sitename} - {$detail_title}</title>
  {else}
    <title>{sitename} - {title}</title>
  {/if}
