Forum description in address bar?

**Jake Bunce** · Mon 9 Oct '06, 12:47pm

All of the main templates (usually CAPITALIZED). For example:

FORUMHOME
FORUMDISPLAY
SHOWTHREAD
etc...

I mean the global template, the one that shows the forum name in the internet browser window title.

That is the title tag which is in several templates.

What do you want to do with it?

Basically, I have named my forum "SmsMasters Forum" in "Site Name / URL / Contact Details" options.

However, I want to make it say "SmsMasters Forum - Latest technology news and information, mobile phones, gadgets & more! Large active community discussion forum." But I don't want to add it via the options, I want to add it in a global template because it appears in the navbar and it would be too long.

Sorry, I can't describe it better.

Basically, which variable in which template displays the forum name in the browser window?

Please see attachment:

Thanks

Edit the FORUMHOME template. You will see that it uses the "x_powered_by_vbulletin" phrase in the title:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
	<!-- no cache headers -->
	<meta http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache" />
	<meta http-equiv="Expires" content="-1" />
	<meta http-equiv="Cache-Control" content="no-cache" />
	<!-- end no cache headers -->
	$headinclude
	<title><phrase 1="$vboptions[bbtitle]">$vbphrase[[color=red]x_powered_by_vbulletin[/color]]</phrase></title>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

To edit this phrase go to your:

Admin CP -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases

Search for "x_powered_by_vbulletin" in the Phrase Variable Name Only. Edit the matching phrase and enter a translation to change the "powered by" part to your own title.

You will see that other templates don't use the same phrase. For example, edit the FORUMDISPLAY template:

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]
<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">
<head>
$headinclude
<title>$foruminfo[title_clean]<if condition="$pagenumber>1"> - <phrase 1="$pagenumber">$vbphrase[page_x]</phrase></if> - $vboptions[bbtitle]</title>
<if condition="$show['inlinemod']"><script type="text/javascript" src="clientscript/vbulletin_inlinemod.js?v=$vboptions[simpleversion]"></script></if>
</head>
<body>
$header
$navbar

You can see that is starts with the title of the individual forum, followed by the page number, followed by the title of the whole forum. Make appropriate edits here to add your custom page title. Repeat for other main templates.
