Optimal titles - changing index page title?

arch stanton · PR1 Joined: 04 Oct 2006 Posts: 113

I am using the Optimal Titles mod, which works well.

But the forum index page now has the title "Index page".

In phpbb2, you could change this by opening the lang_main.php page and changing the variable $lang[’Index’] from 'Index page' to whatever new title you wanted to give it.

There is no $lang[’Index’] in phpbb3. Any idea how I can change the index page title in phpbb3?

Thanks.

It's the same with phpBB3, excepts it's $user->lang['INDEX'] to be used now, and the language file to search for it is :

language/en/common.php

Look for :

What's in the overall_header.html file near the <title> tag? Presumably it's looking for template variables you have not defined.

I should add that the main Index page is okay - it's just all the sub forums.

Just copied this from Overall_Header.html

I'm also having a problem with the EG DELETE - which the instructions said to enter - it's appearing on some of the pages.

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}" />
<title>{PAGE_TITLE}{L_MCP} • {L_UCP} • </title>
<meta http-equiv="content-style-type" content="text/css" />
<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="{S_USER_LANG}" />
<meta http-equiv="imagetoolbar" content="no" />
<meta name="resource-type" content="document" />
<meta name="distribution" content="global" />
<meta name="copyright" content="2002-2006 phpBB Group" />
<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
{META}
EG Delete

This was in the instructions:

#

#-----[ OPEN ]------------------------------------------

#

styles/prosilver/template/overall_header.html

#

#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------

#

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset={S_CONTENT_ENCODING}" />

#

#-----[ AFTER, ADD]------------------------------------------

#

<title>{PAGE_TITLE}{L_MCP} • {L_UCP} • </title>

#

#-----[ FIND ]------------------------------------------

#

<title>{SITENAME} • {L_MCP} • {L_UCP} • {PAGE_TITLE}</title>

#

#-----[ REPLACE WITH ]------------------------------------------

# EG Delete

This means delete what was specified above (there is no "delete" in the MOD format).
