XF 2.1 Dropping the site name from forum list

[Max Taxable]

It's redundant. How do I get rid of the site name from main forum page?

Anyone?

ACP > Setup > Options > Basic Board Information

Take a look at that and see if that’s what you mean.

I think you have to find the template that's calling the board name, and remove that line.

You’re right, @Rusty Snippets. I tested this and it worked for me. But I’m not the OP. It leaves the title on your browser tab, just not on the page.

This is for xf 2.1, and I don't find the referenced code at all in the template.

I think I understand what you mean, and I found it annoying. I think you're saying that you want "X Forum - X Forum" out of the title because it's redundant, and if you also use "X Forum" as the Board Title, it carries over to other areas of your site which may not be a forum (i.e., a CMS, or a blog). Therefore, I set my Board Title as above by @svaughn114 to "Site.com" instead to have "X Forum - Site.com" and "X Blog - Site.com" for the title tags, while retaining the Board Title on the forum to be "X Forum".

Find this in the template PAGE_CONTAINER

<xf:set var="$description"><xf:description /></xf:set>

And below it, you're going to want to place this:

    <xf:comment>This will change the board title H1 tag on the forum index to "X Forum"</xf:comment>
    <xf:if is="{$template} == 'forum_list'">
        <xf:set var="$h1">X Forum</xf:set>
    </xf:if>

    <xf:comment>This will change the title tag on the forum to "X Forum" plus the board title as set.</xf:comment>
    <xf:if is="{$template} == 'forum_list'">
        <title>X Forum - {$xf.options.boardTitle}</title>
    <xf:else />
        <title><xf:title formatter="%s - %s" fallback="{$xf.options.boardTitle}" page="{$pageNumber}" /></title>
    </xf:if>

Replace X Forum with your site's name. As put, this will be: "X Forum - YOUR_BOARD_TITLE_IN_ACP" and on other pages, such as the Members page, "Notable members - YOUR_BOARD_TITLE_IN_ACP". As stated, my board title in ACP is "Site.com" so it would appear as "X Forum - Site.com" and "Notable members - Site.com" respectively.

If you want it completely gone like the link to the XF1 example,

    <xf:if is="{$template} == 'forum_list'">
        <xf:set var="$h1"></xf:set>
    </xf:if>

This should do in the same place.

 

[Max Taxable]

Well. It was really this simple: Line 1 of the forum_list template, where it has:

<xf:h1>{$xf.options.boardTitle}</xf:h1>

Change it to:

<xf:h1></xf:h1>

And it does what I need. BUT...

I fear that on upgrade, this reverts?

The templates should merge and include your changes. Though, turn off your board, take a backup, upgrade, test and then turn the board back on to ensure that it does.

Yes this is edit to custom style template not the xf default so, should not change on upgrade. Thank you for the good advice on backups too.

Interestingly, upon experimentation I find you can put anything there you want, like:

<xf:h1>Hello World</xf:h1>

But you can't just delete line 1.

That should be due to having a fallback in PAGE_CONTAINER

<xf:set var="$h1"><xf:h1 fallback="{$siteName}" /></xf:set>

I think that means is if h1 isn't defined anywhere, it's automatically going to fall back to the board title. Therefore, you need to make it null by deleting "Hello World" as in your first example.

You're right, without the <h1> it "knows" to default. But when you put in "Hello World" that's what displays, and also in the font weight and color it's called.

Thank you @maszd but this is sorted. And it was for 2.1
