Forum Title

Forum Title


Well, someone asked for this, and I thought it was a good idea also, so I went ahead and added it.

What does this do?

This will allow you to change the title that shows up per forum.

Why Would I want to do this?

Well, I cant really answer that. What it does do is allows you to keep the same display name for the forum on forumhome, and allows you to have something more descriptive in the title of that forum. Great for SEO.

Installation:

Import the Product

Configuration:

Go into Forum Manager, Scroll to bottom to find: Forum Title adjust to how you want.

Misc:

[gwerzal]

For what this does your description doesn't do it justice.

This especialy cool for me as i have a lot of sub-forums and they will appear much clearer on my forumhome if i use this.

Nice 1 and thank you.

Clicked installed

This is a nice mod.

Took me a few minutes to figure out what it does...Change the page title that search engines see and what is displayed at the top of the browser.

Good job :)

[rolandogomez]

Excellent, works on VB3.7 B6. Thanks! Installed!

[ArnyVee]

Had to uninstall 3.6 version first, error came out. But, we're fine now after reinstall. 3.7.1 P1 reporting for duty. :D

[Michael Biddle]

How was it not working on your 3.6?

[Forum Lover]

I cant uninstall it. its showing database error. :(

[Forum Lover]

Is thare any support for this hack at all?

[Michael Biddle]

Updated to fix error. Please try again.

[TsirhCitna]

I don't see what this does.

[Michael Biddle]

Please see this thread, it explains it more: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=156894

[ArnyVee]

whitemike, should we update if it's been working okay for us?

[Michael Biddle]

Nope. Not needed if its working.

[RotasızKaptan]

Thanks, installed but dead postbit_legacy.

[Michael Biddle]

This has nothing to do with postbit_legacy....

[imranbaig]

This is not working for me...
I have VB 3.72 Installed, I uninstalled older one, and got this one Installed and nothing seems to be working?

[Michael Biddle]

Please try the new version. I updated the file.

[imranbaig]

Yeh thanks it works now, after re-installing this new file its working good.
Thanks.

[Greek76]

Not working for me at all at www.Hellboyforums.com.. I scrolled down and fill in the title click save and nothing.

[Michael Biddle]

You can PM me access to your AdminCP and I can take a look at it for you.

[CarterMarkham]

I have read the other thread, but I am still not sure why this would help. At the top with 3.7.2 it already shows the name of the forum. Why is this necessary?

[Michael Biddle]

It will allow you to customize what exactly you want it to say without having to change the entire forum name.

[jamesww]

This sounds like it could be a great hack. Do you think that you can make one that allows you to change title, description, and keywords meta tags all the way down to threads.

Thanks

[thompson]

very interessting. is it working with vbseo 3.3 and vb 3.8.2 ?

[Michael Biddle]

It should be working with both. Have not tested yet.

[mbentley]

thanks for this hack! works great, especially when you have sub-forums that have images instead of actual names.

i was wondering if there was a way to add the option to do the same thing with the actual site name. we are wanting to add an image for the site name to appear on the pages but the title on the menu bar at the top of the screen just shows the html code. would this be possible?

let me know if you need a screen shot if i am not being clear.

[Michael Biddle]

Not sure what you mean. A screen shot would be useful.

[z0diac]

Screenshots? I have no idea what it does after reading the description.

[Eruantien]

Works great on 3.8.3

[Michael Biddle]

Thanks!

[nrajasekharan]

How do I change the homepage title to a lengthy one other than thru vboptions?

[Zi55]

I have a question and i hope someone to answer ,
How i can made this mode work in forumhome
I've add the $foruminfo[forum_title] for all this templetes

'forumhome_forumbit_level1_nopost',
'forumhome_forumbit_level1_post',
'forumhome_forumbit_level2_nopost',
'forumhome_forumbit_level2_post',
'forumhome_subforumbit_nopost',
'forumhome_subforumbit_post',

I think there are a Hook edit or a file edit to get it works

[draxima]

This is a good mod that does the work.

[PET]

Does this mod works for vB4?

Hello,
thanks for this mod. But it truncates the title after x chars? If so, how to increase the size of the title?

Thank in advance

[Dan49]

Awesome mod! Just what I needed/was looking for. Found it so quick it made me smile. Works with 3.8.7 and VBSEO 3.6.0. Thank you very much Michael.
