Title Tag Can't Post
Is there a way to generate the title of a page (for example an article title) as the title tag using CMS Builder? Example: http://www.dustindrorbaugh.com/html/news.php?Sears-Scrambles-Online-for-a-Lifeline-2 would have the title tag of Sears Scrambles Online for a Lifeline.

Hi Dustin!

You bet. Just put your title code into the <title> tag. So, you'd have something like this:

<title><?php echo htmlspecialchars($mainRecord['title']) ?></title>

Let me know if that works for you. :)

Hi Donna,

That did not work. Instead of the article title being displayed the entire URL of the file is displayed. I attached my php file if you want to take a quick look.

Hi Dustin,

It doesn't look like the file got attached, can you try that again?

Hi Dustin!

Make sure the code from CMS Builder is right at the top of the page. Where it says "Step 1" that should be at the VERY top, before anything else (even before your doctype declaration.)

The title isn't showing because it doesn't know where to grab it from -- the PHP works "in order" from top to bottom of the page, so anything above that code block won't show.

I hope this helps. :)

Hey Donna.

I'm getting a notice "Undefined variable mainRecord in -home-dustindd-public_html-html-news.php on line 23" and I moved the first section of php code to the very top. This is not adding up. I just want the title of the article to be displayed in the <title> tags.

Try this..

Change:
<title><?php echo htmlspecialchars($mainRecord['title']) ?></title>

To:
<title><?php echo htmlspecialchars($newsRecord['title']) ?></title>

Hi Dustin,

Yup, what aev said -- with any examples we give, make sure you change any variables (like the section names) to match your own. You can compare against the code from your code generator -- all this is is the bit of echo code for the "title" field. :)
