Customizable Page Titles

[jhilgeman]

Someone posted something similar to this, but it's a little restrictive. Their method forces the text from the navigation bar into the title. I've done that for my categories and products, but for other pages that aren't related to those areas, I use a different method.

 

In the header file, where <title>...</title> is displayed, I use a variable. My store is English-only at this point, so I don't need constants defined in language files, although you could easily adapt my method to use a constant.

 

Instead of using the TITLE constant, I use $SiteTitle. In each page that needs a customized title, I add a line before the header file is called:

 

$SiteTitle = "Customized Page Title";

include("headers and all that stuff");

...

etc...

...

 

Just thought I'd add my two cents.

You could also try Linda McGrath's header tag controller. Lots of ways to set your title tag.

OKay then, maybe my suggestion is only one cent. Whatever. :)

Here is the one I used:

 

<title><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?> :: <?php echo TITLE; ?></title>

 

Gets it pretty good for pages like privacy, shipping, whats new, specials etc, etc
