Geeklog Forums

It is some time ago that I discovered that the titles in the browser are not very fortunate. The display says site_name followed by the title of the story. For SEO you need it the other way round and I changed the lib-common.php around line 905 from



to


Wordpress offers a plugin for that called optimal title http://elasticdog.com/2004/09/optimal-title/ and I thought that this might become a variable in the GL config.php

Shouldn't the hyphen split the new page and the site name?

Yes, but whatever I did it stayed at the begining of the title and did not split page and site name. I even added 2 spces at the beginning:

$_CONF['site_name'] = '  Geeklog-site';

Anyway, thanks for responding. I`ll come up with some more ideas soon.

Hi, I edited libcommon.php but dont see any changes in the pagetitle.

Here is the code i entered on line 905:

$pagetitle = ' ' . $pagetitle;
}
$header->set_var( '$page_title', $pagetitle . $_CONF['site_name'] );

furthermore i didn't understand the $ sorry i am no php-programmer.

Strange enough the pagetitle is always correct when i choose the print-page layout.

does anyone have a clue? Many thanks.

Hacked lib-common.php:



I think this should definitely become a variable in config.php to be switched either way.
