Front page <TITLE> tag change?
mediafrenzy - November 9, 2005 - 23:49
Hi all, after much fruitless searching I thought I'd ask the collective how I should go about reversing the SITENAME / SLOGAN in the TITLE tag for the front page of my drupal site? I'm using Kubrick phptemplate if that makes any difference?
At the moment it is in this format :
MYSITENAME | My sites Slogan Text
I'm wanting it to be:
My sites Slogan Text | MYSITENAME
I'm guessing it'll be an incredibly simple solution, but I cannot for the life of me find any info on how to do it!
Thanks in advance.
The solution
Well as I suspected it was very simple to do, though for a non-programmer it took a bit of finding ;)
It may be painfully simple to many of you, but I'm sure this will help some others sometime somewhere!
For anyone interested, I simply edited the phptemplate.engine file which is found here :
/themes/engines/phptemplate/phptemplate.engine
I just edited the section titled:
$vars = array(And made the following changes:
OLD CODE
'head_title' => (drupal_get_title() ? strip_tags(drupal_get_title()) .' | '. variable_get('site_name', 'drupal') : variable_get('site_name', 'drupal') .' | '. variable_get('site_slogan', '')),NEW CODE
'head_title' => (drupal_get_title() ? strip_tags(drupal_get_title()) .' | '. variable_get('site_name', 'drupal') : variable_get('site_slogan', 'drupal') .' | '. variable_get('site_name', '')),This results in unchanged title tags through your site except for the front page (as far as I can tell so far anyways!).
The front page title tag is now "Your Site Slogan Here | Your Site Name"
The Solution - for xtemplate
I wanted to switch around the order of the page title as well and found this post. I'm using xtemplate, so the change above didn't help, so I looked for it myself and changed the following...
themes/engines/xtemplate/xtemplate.engine
at line ~114
code...
function xtemplate_page($content) {
global $xtemplate;
// Construct page title
if (drupal_get_title()) {
$head_title = array(strip_tags(drupal_get_title()), variable_get('site_name', 'drupal'));
}
else {
$head_title = array(variable_get('site_name', 'drupal'));
if (variable_get('site_slogan', '')) {
$head_title[] = variable_get('site_slogan', '');
}
}
from...
$head_title = array(strip_tags(drupal_get_title()), variable_get('site_name', 'drupal'));to...
$head_title = array(variable_get('site_name', 'drupal'), strip_tags(drupal_get_title()));My change was for non-front pages to display "Your Site Name | Page Title", not the same change requested above.
replace tags in <TITLE> with space
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, I made a change reproduced below to replace a
tag in my title with a space (hope it is of use to someone).
.
/**
* modified December 2005 by amcho to replace any HTML tags in the title by space
* new function; Replace_Tags($text)
*/
function Replace_Tags($text) {
$text=preg_replace('/</',' <',$text);
$text=strip_tags($text);
return $text;
}
/**
* modified December 2005 by amcho to
* use new function; Replace_Tags($text) instead of strip tags
*/
function xtemplate_page($content) {
global $xtemplate;
// Construct page title
if (drupal_get_title()) {
$head_title = array(Replace_Tags(drupal_get_title()), Replace_Tags(variable_get('site_name', 'drupal')));
}
else {
$head_title = array(Replace_Tags(variable_get('site_name', 'drupal')));
if (variable_get('site_slogan', '')) {
$head_title[] = variable_get('site_slogan', '');
}
}
mod to phptemplate.engine to clear <BR> tag in title
The same chage can be applied to phptemplate.engine:
just after $vars = array(
change the head-title line as follows:
'head_title' => (drupal_get_title() ? Replace_Tags(drupal_get_title()) .' | '. Replace_Tags(variable_get('site_name', 'drupal')) : Replace_Tags(variable_get('site_name', 'drupal')) .' | '. variable_get('site_slogan', '')),
