I'm trying to pull the $pagetitle value into a block, but it's just bringing in the site name and does not include the staticpages title. Anyone know how to do this?

write a php block function that returns $_CONF[pagetitle] as well as your block content. store it in your lib-custom according to the instructions for creating php blocks.
for example:
function phpblock_SPpagetitle() {
global $_CONF;
$retval = '';
$retval .= $_CONF['pagetitle'];
$retval .= 'rest of block content';
return $retval;
}
I dunno but I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work.
for example:
Text Formatted Code
function phpblock_SPpagetitle() {
global $_CONF;
$retval = '';
$retval .= $_CONF['pagetitle'];
$retval .= 'rest of block content';
return $retval;
}

You need two functions CUSTOM_templatesetvars (or if you are in a plugin use plugin_templatesetvars_$plugin) and your phpblock.
$current_pagetitle = '';
function CUSTOM_templatesetvars($templatename, $template)
{
global $current_pagetitle;
if ($templatename == 'header') {
$current_pagetitle = $template->get_var('page_title');
}
}
function phpblock_whatever()
{
global $current_pagetitle;
$display = "The current page title is $current_pagetitle";
return $display;
}
That's entirely untested but I think it does it. I'll try it myself later if I get the chance.

Mine works in right blocks, not left blocks. I thought the templatesetvars was called before blocks were done but it happens in the opposite order.
Machinari - Yours only works on staticpages (because the staticpage code modifies $_CONF['pagetitle'] directly). That's what the OP wants but a generic pagetitle block only works with my code and only on a right block.

Yup. that's what he wanted. I presumed that he has a plan for checking the current page in order to ensure that the block returns empty when he's not on a staticpage.Machinari - Yours only works on staticpages
and chrisp, if you haven't thought of that then here's where your start. Here are two options for your phpblock. both work and will only return stuff on staticpages.
Text Formatted Code
/* I want this block to return something on staticpages only. */
function phpblock_SPpagetitle() {
global $_CONF;
$retval = '';
$thisurl = COM_getCurrentURL();
if (eregi('staticpage', $thisurl)){
$retval = $_CONF['pagetitle'];
}
return $retval;
}
/* I want this block to return something on the specified staticpages only. */
function phpblock_SPpagetitle() {
global $_CONF;
$retval = '';
$thisurl = COM_getCurrentURL();
$pages = array('http://mypage1',
'http://mypage2',
'http://mypage3');
if (in_array($thisurl, $pages){
$retval = $_CONF['pagetitle'];
}
return $retval;
}

You should use (stristr($thisurl, 'staticpages'
!== false) rather than eregi. Without a regular expression there's no reason to use eregi. Also, there use to be a task to eliminate ereg* from Geeklog in favor of the preg* function since the preg* functions support unicode.
If you are on PHP5, use stripos in place of stristr as it doesn't return the unneeded string.
