I looked on here, but wasn’t quite able to find how to do this. If I missed it I apologize. How would I modify topic titles to not have the name of the forum in the title? What would I change? What file would I modify? Such as:

This is the default title structure right now on my theme:

<title>Topic Title >> Forum Name</title>

I would like to change the title structure to this:

<title>Topic Title</title>

Any ideas? Thanks.

Best regards,

Matt

This is an old post, but the concept still applies:

bb_title is the function you need to override with a plugin, such as this one. To see what bb_title and bb_get_title do, take a look at bb-includes/template-functions.php starting around line 305 (in version 0.9.0.2).

Do you know what I did wrong? When I try to activate the plugin I get:

Plugin could not be activated; it produced a Fatal Error.

I want to get rid of the site title that comes after the topic title on topic pages. That way I’ll only have the <title>Topic Title</title> in the browser. I need some expert coder help. :o) This is what I have that did not work:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Title Modifier

Author: Matt George

*/

add_filter(‘bb_title’, ‘titlemodify’);

function titlemodify( $title ) {

//your code that does something to $title;

case ‘topic-page’:

$title[] = get_topic_title();

return $title;

}

?>

I don’t think you can do a case without a switch first. Something like this:

<?php

/*

Plugin Name: Title Modifier

Author: Matt George

*/

add_filter('bb_title', 'titlemodify');



function titlemodify( $title ) {

//your code that does something to $title;



switch ( bb_get_location() ) {

case 'topic-page':

$title[] = get_topic_title();

break;

}

return $title;

}

?>

It gave me this error:

Fatal error: [] operator not supported for strings in /home/prayer81/public_html/my-plugins/titlemodifier.php on line 13

So I took out [] and it works like a charm. Sweetness! Big thanks! I guess this is like my first attempt at a plugin. ;o)

[@chrishajer Participant 16 years, 6 months ago]

I think that is a case of mixing an array ($title[]) with a string ($title). Somewhere, $title is being used as a string, and this piece of code wants to use it as the array $title[].

Glad you got it working. Hack away.

Thanks for this plugin snippet. This is the beauty of this software… so elegant and easy to modify.
