PHPbb change

Does anyone know how I can get 'view topic' from disappearing on my forum posts?

 

'ya lost me. Could you rephrase the question?

Also, please mention the names of the .php files in your address bar when phpBB displays the desired behavior and the undesired behavior.

 

Sorry Will - it was late!

viewtopic.php includes in the title the words "view topic"

i.e. www.travel-rants.com/forum/ptopic711. html

How do I remove the 'view topic' words from the title?

Edit \templates\{template.name}\overall_header.tpl.

Look for "<title>" near the top of that file and edit it to whatever you like. Mine looks like this:

<title>{PAGE_TITLE} : Online Psychology Self-Help and Support Forum : {SITENAME}</title>

Code (markup):

which yields a title that looks like this:

<title>Having trouble logging in? : Online Psychology Self-Help and Support Forum : PsychLinks Online</title>

Code (markup):

Actually, looking at that now, I think it could use a little work... but it does avouid having every page say "view topic".

Edit: I just simplified it to

<title>{PAGE_TITLE} : {SITENAME} Psychology Self-Help and Support Forum</title>

Code (markup):

so now that page title would convert to

[code]<title>Having trouble logging in? : PsychLinks Online Psychology Self-Help and Support Forum</title>

Code (markup):

 

Minstrel your a genius.. thanks!

 

Glad to help. Being called a "genius" doesn't hurt the ego, either, especially if, like me, you have teenage children... "genius" isn't usually the word they use when describing me

 

You'll probably get better search engine results only running {PAGE_TITLE} up there.

 

Hmm can I withdraw that genius statement? lol

That seems to have resolve the issue with viewforum.php but viewtopic.php is still showing 'View Topic' before the topic title and forum title

i.e. travel-rants.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=705

Any ideas?

 

Excellent ... your both a genius

I have actually dont the seo mod but must of missed that section out!

The forum name, etc., is at the end of the title - I prefer it that way personally because it "brands" the forum name with every topic and it doesn't hurt the search terms in the actual title.

 

I don't think it's paret of the SEP MOD - my forum is pretty heavily customized beyond that.

Open viewtopic.php (forum root folder, not the termplate folder).

Find:

//
// Output page header
//
$page_title = $lang['View_topic'] .' - ' . $topic_title;

Code (markup):

replace with

//
// Output page header
//
// $page_title = $lang['View_topic'] .' - ' . $topic_title;
$page_title = $topic_title;

Code (markup):
