Title problem with osCommerce

    I really don't know where to put this topic and this really is as close as I can see, as it has something to do with the design. I'm just going to tell you exactly the problem. I work with the site http://www.mrairsoft.com, and right now we can only use one title tag throughout the site. I want the different sections to have different title tags, like "Shotguns" to have the title, "Airsoft Shotguns". However, my friend (he does the coding) says he can't directly edit pages, since osCommerce won't let him do that. There must be a way to edit page titles, there HAS to be! How?

    Edit:

    // page title
    define('TITLE', STORE_NAME);

    In the following file:
    catalog/includes/languages/english.php

    Can you give me an example of what to change? Like, for the Shotguns section, what would you change? And if there's only one section of that code, as my friend says, how do you change everything? Can you, "walk me through it"?

    This all depends on what you want your page title to display.

    What exactly do you want the page title to display?

    You just edit the one single file above and it changes every page on the site.

    No no! I don't want every title to be the same, I want them to be different! I want different pages to have different titles. How do I do that?

    Yes, I know this. I need to know what you would like each page title to display.

    I would like it to show the name of the product. For example, on this page: http://mrairsoft.com/index.php?cPath=22 I would like the title to be "Airsoft Gas Pistols", but I don't know how to do that.

    Ask your programmer to check your site template against the default template as this is already setup in the default.

    search the oscommerce forum for a contribution named "cDynamic_Meta_Tags v1.6" ive just installed it on one of my clients sites and it work a treat, you can also edit the meta file to put in custom keywords. :)
