[howto] Code snippet: context-sensitive title without <txp:page_title />
Short version: I wanted a more configurable way of displaying TXP title stuff beyond <txp:page_title /> to display something more SEO-friendly.
i) If it’s the root/homepage, display: Home | Site name
ii) If it’s a section, display: Section name | Site name
iii) If it’s an article, display: Article name | Section name | Site name
Here’s how I did it:
<title>
<txp:if_individual_article><txp:title /> |</txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:if_section name="default">Home |<txp:else /><txp:section /> |</txp:if_section />
<txp:site_name />
</title>I’m expecting this to be old news to most folks round here, but it might be a small fix that can be applied to an existing template to tighten up the <title> element of a template, or whatever. Regardless, I hope it’s useful to someone :)
Edit: oh, I just saw the ‘How-tos and Examples’ forum, this is probably best in there. Sorry :(

Just tried this. – For some reason, the article title won’t show up in the title tag?

First guess: Are you using article_custom with limit=1?
(article_custom is never in individual article mode even when limited to display one article.)
In bad weather I never leave home without wet_plugout, smd_where_used and adi_form_links
