How Do I Create a Page Title Without the Site Name
Is there a way to create a page title without including the site name by default?
I am using the txp:page_title tag currently. I have read that including the sitename: page title for each page is not search engine optimized.
It would be great if there was a tag attribute in txp:page_title to not include the site name.

I believe there’s a plugin to customize your page title.

That’s very questionable. Myself, I would say it’s the other way around.

Re: How Do I Create a Page Title Without the Site Name
This is easily done with a simple article tag. For instance, I usually add something like this to my page inside the <head> tag:
<txp:if_individual_article><txp:article form="meta_dynamic"></txp:if_individual_article>
And then the form meta_dynamic could contain any variable you’d find in an article tag, such as title, custom field, etc. For instance, any one of these could comprise the meta_dynamic form:
<title><txp:sitename />: <txp:title /></title> (default)
<title><txp:sitename />: <txp:category1 title="1" />: <txp:title /></title>
<title><txp:section title="1" /> | <txp:title /></title>
<title><txp:section title="1" /> | <txp:custom_field name="special_CF_for_page_title" /></title>
etc … this way the title tag is completely customized.

Re: How Do I Create a Page Title Without the Site Name
Putting this in the header, between <head> and </head> works for me. You can keep or omit the sitename as you wish.
<txp:if_individual_article>
<title><txp:title /> : <txp:sitename /></title>
<txp:else />
<title><txp:page_title /></title>
</txp:if_individual_article>Last edited by wagerrard (2007-05-06 02:06:31)

Re: How Do I Create a Page Title Without the Site Name
I am getting an error because the txp:title is to be used in an article form and not in a page or column. I have the result that I want though. Any ideas?

And <txp:if_individual_article> is only needed if you also use the template/page for article lists. When used only for individual article pages, it’s not needed.

Since version 4.0.5. you have been able to put
<txp:title />(and other article-tags) outside article-form, if it is surrounded with<txp:if_individual_article>.
I’ve reported some kind of bug: it seems that txp:title doesn’t work in individual article context for sticky articles.
I’ve seen that on two sites developed by me.
Could anyone do a test and confirm?

In the upcoming TXP 4.0.6 that should work again.
