Display category names in page title tag
|

Is there a way to display cat & sub cat names in the page title tag?
For example, currently if the category toyota is selected the page title is "toyota" because of the $cat_name_he$ tag.
The categories are setup like this:
Cars
Foreign
Toyota
So I would like to have the title tag read: "cars foreign toyota"
Is this possible?
Thanks,
Brandon

Hi Brandon,
Thanks for the post! 
Depending on how your site is set up this is something you should be able to do.
Basically, the way to do this is using the breadcrumb that Article Manager uses. You'll notice on your index page, category index pages and search results that there is a breadcrumb path to the category that article is in. For example an article in your Toyota category would have something like this right above the article title:
Cars : Foreign : Toyota
In this case, both "Cars" and "Foreign" would be links to the category index pages for these categories. To get the <title> tag set up the way you've mentioned we'll be customizing the category breadcrumb to remove the link so you'll just be losing this link functionality (so, while people will be able to see the category an article is in, they'll just want to click on the category list to get to those categories).
If this sounds like it should work for you then you'll want to open up /artman/templates/category_breadcrumb.html. You'll want to replace the code that is in this file with this:
<!-- templatecell : breadcrumb_link -->
$cat_name$
<!-- /templatecell : breadcrumb_link -->
<!-- templatecell : breadcrumb_divider -->
:
<!-- /templatecell : breadcrumb_divider -->
<!-- templatecell : breadcrumb_link_selected -->
$cat_name$
<!-- /templatecell : breadcrumb_link_selected -->
Next you'll just want to make a quick change to a couple of your template files. In /artman/templates/index/default.html you'll want to replace this:
<title>$cat_name_he$</title>
With this:
<title>$cat_breadcrumb_he$</title>
In /artman/templates/article/default.html you'll want to replace this line of code:
<title>$art_name_he$</title>
With this:
<title>$cat_breadcrumb_he$ : $art_name$</title>
Give this a try and let me know how it works for you.
If you have any other questions or comments about this, just let me know!
