I absolutely love the way that Joomla dynamically changes title tags for each of your pages, but it brings one problem. I was able to configure the front page title under menu-->mainmenu-->home-->"page title" feild, but for some reason it adds "home" after the text. Basically, it adds whatever the name is of the content menu item, which happens to be "home". This is a problem because i am trying to use my title to focus on a keyword and having unwanted text ("home") interfers with that. How can i fix this? All of my page titles are fine except for the front page..is there a extension for joomla 1.0 that allows you to edit/manage your page titles without interfering with dynamic titling (i only want to change one)?
$5 via paypal to the first person who can figure out how to get rid of this. Remember, i still want to keep it so all the other pages are generated dynamically.
Ok here here what to do.. in your admin panel go to: "Menu Manager" then click edit menu items Click home... Now on the right you need to set show page title to no this wont effect your other menus or names.. hope that helps just posted in here also so it may help others
I'm thinking there is some kind of bug in joomla 1.0.15, i have the page title option on "hide" and it is still displaying "home" at the end of the title on the front page.
Ok, this guy seems to have found a solution: http://www.joomlart.com/forums/showthread.php?p=52503 unfortunately, i cannot find the "<?php mosPathway(); ?>" code (stated in the post) to replace. Was this guy running off a different version of Joomla and that is why he was able to find it in the index.php file? Any coders want to tell me what i need to replace in joomla 1.0.15?
