gomjabbar, thank you for the help! i'd give you karma but I don't see anywhere to do that.

unfortunately, i'm still at a loss. this didn't work either:

[code:1]//set page title if on Mambo 4.5.2+
if ($fmessage->parent == 0) {
$mainframe->setPageTitle($objCatInfo->name . ' - ' . $fmessage->subject);
}[/code:1]

I checked and rechecked to make sure I'd uploaded the file, cleared my cache, etc...

The last post is still the page title.

Any help is welcome.

erickaweb:
What version of FB are you using? Are you using threaded view? Make sure the code appears inside the statement beginning with:

if (count($flat_messages) > 0)
{
foreach ($flat_messages as $fmessage)
{
...

If that doesn't do it then maybe you have a more recent version of FB which attempts to set the page title elsewhere in the code and uses the wrong subject line for that. Can you run a global search for "setPageTitle" and report where it's being called?

I'm using: "Installed version: FireBoard 1.0.4 Stable [ Teakwood ] 23 December 2007 01:00 UTC"

Yes, I am using a threaded view and the code does appear inside the statement. After doing a global search, the following page is also setting the page title:

com_fireboard/template/default/fb_layout.php

but it looks like it's just calling the "board_title" in three different places.

Thanks!

erickaweb:

Try this:

1. Open thread.php.

2. Near the top, after the lines:


Paste:

that worked! thank you, gomjabbar - much appreciated.

Glad to be of service. And now I can answer your previous question: to give karma in this forum, you have to hover on a person's avatar for the info popup. Right now, it seems they've reverted temporarily to an older code and template so the karma buttons appear where you'd expect them to be. Not that it will help towards my house payments but maybe in next life?

To set just the post title as page title, use code:

//set page title if on Mambo 4.5.2+
if ($fmessage->parent == 0) {
$mainframe->setPageTitle($fmessage->subject);
}


That gave this error message when viewing a thread

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&' in /home/content/b/r/a/brandonroy/html/components/com_fireboard/template/default/view.php on line 516


Not sure why :/

brandonroy:

Replace &gt with the "greater than" arrow and &lt with the "less than" arrow. The forum developers were tinkering with the code when I posted this message, which is why it got a little corrupted.

Gomjabbar,

I appreciate the code for generating meta keywords and description. It would be really nice if you could improve the code just a bit so that it filters out the bbcode tags like etc.

Maybe use instead of ? This does not filter out the image and url path however.
