XF 1.2 Titles for pages

[mongy910]

Hi guys, I have been scouring the internet looking for an answer, but i cant seem to find a way to add titles for my forums, like literal <title>Great Seo helper goes here</title>.

I'm sure i have just missed it somewhere and would love it if you guys could help me out here.

Are you looking for pages or forums?

Title pages

 

[Jeremy]

Both pages and forums are node types in XenForo. Are you trying to set the title for the Pages node type or for every page on your site? Also, what exactly are you trying to set as the title? The node title, the same thing, or something entirely different?

 

[mongy910]

By title I mean the title that is displayed in the tabs of the browser, and the title that search engines see. The literal html <title></title> tags

 

[Jeremy]

What are you trying to set it to. Do you want it to be the same across the site or change as the nodes change?

 

[mongy910]

Want it to change as the nodes change

Find the content template:

http://xenforo.com/community/threads/1-0-0-b1-how-to-identify-the-root-template-of-a-page.5591/

Near the top of the content template you will see these tags which define the page title and h1 tag:

xen:title
xen:h1

That is how page titles are defined in XenForo. If you need more help then I need more specific information about what you want to change, where, for what page, etc.

Ok, our site is cubeuniverse.org. We have used a bridge to make some of our pages custom while keeping the awesome Xenforo login system, header and footer. Anyway, for our hompage, and then pages such forums and pages from the nav like cubeuniverse.org/servers.php we want to make titles for the tabs at the top of the browser to be custom to help our SEO. Any hints on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.

What bridge? Kotomi?

Kotomi scrapes the HTML for a <title></title> tag. You can define the title of your page by including that HTML tag in your output. It can be commented if you want.

We also have non-Kotomi Pages for our General Forum. Do you know how to edit the title for our forums?

 

[Jeremy]

You may edit the actual board title in the options. If it's a custom script, there's not much we can do without seeing code or your approach.

Need to know what bridge you are using so we can see the code. Normally the title is a param set in the content template, but bridges usually generate output without such a template.

It is the Kotomi one you were speaking of earlier. I want my forums to be titled Cube World Forums | Cube Universe. However i do not know how to change this without having that change every page on the site in the generic title options page.
