How do I get a custom field in my (head) title?

Well, the topic kind of says it all, How do I get a custom field in my (head) title?

My title for the article pages are like this: “Review of <txp:custom_field name=“alt”/> – InspirationKing”

Where Alt is the name I want in the title.
Everything seems fine, right? No. My title just says “Review of – InspirationKing”.

Thank you!

Re: How do I get a custom field in my (head) title?

you’ll need to put an article tag in your <title></title> because custom fields are part of articles

something like

<title><txp:if_individual_article><txp:article form="return-title" /><txp:else /><txp:page_title /></txp:if_individual_article></title>

does that help?

I tried that, and as you can see: http://www.inspirationking.com/featured_review/ux-mag it doesn’t really work.
Thanks!

PS. I experimented with it, and the closest I could get was getting the 3 latest gallery entries in the title.
Grrrr.

Sounds like you didn’t use the if_individual_article tag. Can you post the exact tag(s) you’re trying to use?

<title><txp:if_individual_article><txp:article form="title" /></txp:if_individual_article></title>

And the form “title”:
<txp:custom_field name="alt"/>

Thank you so much :)
