Page titles

[frosch]

All "pages" of the forums have a title like

Transport Tycoon Forums • View topic - Title game competition for OpenTTD 1.2 series

I.e. at the front there is the forum name, and at the back there is the topic title. However, when opening multiple topics in tabs, they truncate the long name to something like "Transport Tycoon..."

Is it possible to reverse the order of items in the titles, so that the topic title goes first?

Title game competition for OpenTTD 1.2 series • Transport Tycoon Forums - View topic

That would make the truncated titles more useful.

It should, I think, be possible, but I've not looked into it. I'm not completely sure I want to do that - for consistency, I'd have to (or want to) change it on every page. I appreciate it may have uses in the situation you describe, though.

I use a Greasemonkey script to (mostly) fix this: http://userscripts.org/scripts/show/53799

It doesn't seem to work when in posting mode, view forum mode, and in some other places, but it works well when browsing a topic.

Hello

It should, I think, be possible, but I've not looked into it. I'm not completely sure I want to do that - for consistency, I'd have to (or want to) change it on every page. I appreciate it may have uses in the situation you describe, though.

The board script has a template engine to do that automatically. I downloaded the style pack sinterklaas for phpBB 3.0.10 and looked into the templates. The following line of overall_header.html builds the title:

Code: Select all

<title>{SITENAME} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{PAGE_TITLE}</title>

Changing this line to ...

Code: Select all

<title>{PAGE_TITLE} &bull; <!-- IF S_IN_MCP -->{L_MCP} &bull; <!-- ELSEIF S_IN_UCP -->{L_UCP} &bull; <!-- ENDIF -->{SITENAME}</title>

... should fix it (if the structure of your template corresponds to the sinterclaas template).
