XF 1.2 XenForo title and tagline

[Jamie Dabrowiecki]

Hi all,
This is my first time using XenForo, and I'm sorting out all of the basics for my upcoming forum.

I have my forum title set as 'Talk Battlefield' and the Board Meta Description set as 'Battlefield Discussion Forum'.

Although, what I want is for the homepage to display 'Talk Battlefield - Battlefield Discussion Forum' and for all other pages just to have 'Talk Battlefield' after the topic name/page title.

If that doesn't make sense let me know and I'll try to elaborate.

If you mean the H1 on the page, you can edit the forum_list template and edit the content between the h1 tags.

Not quite, but thankyou regardless. I'm talking about the actual site title, like what appears in the tab.

Ah, you mean the browser tab.
In which case add this to the top of the forum_list template:

<xen:title>Talk Battlefield - Battlefield Discussion Forum</xen:title>

Great - thanks so much!

I have to say, I've only just got XenForo, and I'm loving it so far. Plus, the support is great.

Hi. I’m using XenForo 2. I’ve the same question but suggested change doesn’t help.

I wish to show “Forum Name – Tagline” in browser tab ONLY on Forum Homepage.

Presently if I update via board title, it shows across all threads etc. which I don’t want.

Anyone?

The equivalent in XenForo 2 is:

<xf:title>Talk Battlefield - Battlefield Discussion Forum</xf:title>

<xf:title>Talk Battlefield - Battlefield Discussion Forum</xf:title>

Thanks for response.

In the forum_list template, there's <xf:title>{{ phrase('forum_list') }}</xf:title> in 3rd line.

I replaced it with <xf:title>Forum Name Tagline</xf:title>

It still did nothing.

You need to replace that whole xf:if block, so instead of:

<xf:h1>{$xf.options.boardTitle}</xf:h1>
<xf:if is="{$xf.options.forumsDefaultPage} != 'forums'">
    <xf:title>{{ phrase('forum_list') }}</xf:title>
</xf:if>

it should be:

<xf:h1>{$xf.options.boardTitle}</xf:h1>
<xf:title>Forum Name Tagline</xf:title>

That block says only set the forum title to that on the foru list if it is NOT your forum homepage, which is not the case for you.

This worked to an extent. But the browser tab now shows:

Forum Name - Tagline | Forum Name

How to remove the repeated Forum Name that's showing at the end only on the homepage?

 

[Jon W]

In PAGE_CONTAINER template you can replace:

<title><xf:title formatter="%s | %s" fallback="{$xf.options.boardTitle}" page="{$pageNumber}" /></title>

with:

<title><xf:title formatter="%s" fallback="{$xf.options.boardTitle}" page="{$pageNumber}" /></title>

This will apply it to every page though.

I guess the other option is to remove your template edit above and replace the fallback:

<title><xf:title formatter="%s | %s" fallback="Forum Name Tagline" page="{$pageNumber}" /></title>

A guide on title formatter options would be nice because it's quite frustrating. I can't get them how I want either.
