[feedback] [Suggestion] Improve page_title tag
Hi developers,
I suggest an update on page_title for better SEO
<txp:page_title />
Article List
Your site name
Articles by Category
Your site name : Category title
Search Results page
Your site name : Search results: Search term
Single Article page
Your site name : Article name
Comments display
Comments on: Article name
This should allow user to change the display order, and currently all sites such as techcrunch.com…. they display the title as below

Re: [feedback] [Suggestion] Improve page_title tag
I’ve just made a stupid modification to make for my site ^^ but it works
function page_title($atts) { global $parentid, $thisarticle, $id, $q, $c, $context, $s, $pg, $sitename;
extract(lAtts(array( ‘separator’ => ‘ | ‘, ), $atts));
$out = ‘’;
if ($parentid) { $parent_id = (int) $parent_id; $out .= gTxt(‘comments_on’).’ ‘.escape_title(safe_field(‘Title’, ‘textpattern’, “ID = $parentid”)); } elseif ($thisarticle[‘title’]) { $out .= escape_title($thisarticle[‘title’]); } elseif ($q) { $out .= gTxt(‘search_results’).htmlspecialchars($separator.$q); } elseif ($c) { $out .= htmlspecialchars(fetch_category_title($c, $context)); } elseif ($s and $s != ‘default’) { $out .= htmlspecialchars(fetch_section_title($s)); } elseif ($pg) { $out .= gTxt(‘page’).’ ‘.$pg; } else { $out = htmlspecialchars($sitename); }
if ($out != htmlspecialchars($sitename)) { $out .= htmlspecialchars($separator.$sitename); }
return $out; }

Welcome to the TXP forum!
I suggest not to make modifications to TXP core files.
Instead use txp:output_form and 1-n forms to define the header meta tag outputs you want.
Normally those forms will be called in your page header or in your header form.
Use form names starting with “meta_”.
Use TXP core standard txp:if_ tags inside those forms to achieve the exact content you want.
Example if/else skeleton in form meta_description:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<meta name="description" content="<txp:title no_widow="0" /> - <txp:keywords /> © trailing info" />
</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:hide>You can nest and fill the following if/else conditions to your liking:</txp:hide>
<txp:if_article_list>
<txp:if_search>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_section>
<txp:else />
<txp:if_category>
<txp:else />
<txp:hide>(...)</txp:hide>
</txp:if_category>
</txp:if_section>
</txp:if_search>
</txp:if_article_list>A trap to take care of: Some txp:tags don’t show up in page context.
Workaround: If you see no output call a second form.
PS: To show code here in the forum use textile bc., <code>@…@</code> or bc...
Edit: Added the <txp:else /> to show more basic logic :)
