I truly don’t understand why Joomla! don’t incorporate this in their core codes. This issue has been there since the beginning of J1.5.

Hope this add comment correctly , code to add is:

sitename;

// get doc and docs title
$mydoc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$mytitle = $mydoc->getTitle();

// update title
$mydoc->setTitle($site_name.’ – ‘.$mytitle);

Thank you for hack. I do not want to mess the default files so did this little bit differently.

The more permanent way is to add code to your page-template and not mess with Joomla default and updatable files. Just add code just after usual:
—
// Prevent direct access sans Joomla!:
—
in template. Code to add (edit for your liking):

sitename;

// get doc and docs title
$mydoc =& JFactory::getDocument();
$mytitle = $mydoc->getTitle();

// update title
$mydoc->setTitle($site_name.’ – ‘.$mytitle);

Hi there

Thanks – this is was I was looking for

I use scipt as below:

#old one – only article title as page title
# $strHtml .= $tab.”.htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()).”.$lnEnd;

#SEO Hack
// declare a new configuration variable
$config = new JConfig();
// do not add the site name on the Frontpage
if(( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ‘/’) || ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ” ) ) $site_name = ”;

# article title first
else $site_name = ” – “.$config->sitename;
#site name first
#else $site_name = $config->sitename.” – “;

// make the title tag
# article title first
$strHtml .= $tab . ” . htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()) . $site_name. ” . $lnEnd;
#site name first
#$strHtml .= $tab . ” . $site_name. htmlspecialchars($document->getTitle()) . ” . $lnEnd;

If you need, it’s just simple “#” adding and deleting to get [site name - article title] or [article title - site name] title tag.

I saved it in a text file, and checked every Character to make sure it copied over ok. I will give it a run again this evening.

Hi weebit,

I have used this hack so I know it works.

You mentioned about this line
if(( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ‘/’) || ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ” ) ) $site_name = “;
If you copied the code in my post directly and pasted it, Windows has a bad habit of replacing apostrophe with tilde. Make sure you have corrected this problem.

Darn it… It did not work. said there was a extra “;” on line 89. I don’t know line 89 from 85. Loaded into a text editor and it says the line in question is:

if(( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ‘/’) || ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == ” ) ) $site_name = “;

so I removed the end “;” because it is the only one on that line, but then I got a new error.

Joomla 1.5 Seitentitel bzw. title Tag…

Alles wird besser, doch nie wieder gut.
Worte über Joomla zu verlieren ist müssig, es ist ein CMS, so gut wie jedes andere.
Jetzt war es lange Zeit so, dass das Title Tag sich aus dem vergebenen Titel des Artikels und dem Sitenamen zusammensetzte, …
