SEO: dynamic TITLE-Tag in Arcade

[MrZeropage]

Hello,

using ibProArcade v2.6.8+ and later you have a new setting in AdminCP -> Arcade -> Main Settings to adapt the TITLE-Tag within the Arcade.

This way it is possible to say "playing Snake" in the TITLE which is good for search-engine-optimization.


I am sorry to forget to adapt the ARCADE-Template in the release of v2.6.8+ so please do the following manual adaption to the ARCADE-Template in your style(s) to make use of the dynamic TITLE:

search for<title><phrase 1=$vboptions[bbtitle]>$vbphrase[x_powered_by_vbulletin]</phrase></title>and replace it with<title>$ibprotitle</title>

Please notice that this will only work and have effect if you correctly upgraded to ibProArcade v2.6.8+ meaning all files need to be actual version.


Enjoy :)

Thought I was going mad lol.

A small bug in the new SEO titles feature:

Whenever we view Rankings for any user, it shows Arcade - Your Rankings in page title.

[Nadeemjp]

in which template do we need to make the code changes?

There's only one, it's called ARCADE.

Mr. Zeropage, it works just fine.

$ibprotitle displays "<Forum Title> - Arcade - <Game name>". Is there a way to modify this variable just to show <Game name>?

Put %ACTION% in the HTML-Title format option in the Arcade Options of your admincp

Thank you! It works well. The settings are under "Arcade Main Settings" under "Arcade" menu.

Excellent! I just did this to my arcade.

[Heath]

I can not seem to find this any where in my templates. What files should we be looking in?

[cheat-master30]

Just done this, although I don't know why this can't just be set as default.

The title doesnt seem to work on VB4

to fix this

open arcade/functions/functions.php

find


$templater->register('footer', $footer);


below that paste


$templater->register('ibprotitle', $ibprotitle);


save the file and upload it.

The title will now work on vB4

The title of my page "Arcade" and for each games is:

Name Forum - Arcade (Arcade home's page)

Name Forum - Arcade - Name Game (Arcade game's page)

I would like invert to:

Arcade - Name Forum

Name Game - Arcade on Name Forum

Where Can I modify these settings please?

Thanks

editing the functions.php file only works until you have to upgrade VB, then you have to re-edit the functions.php file again. There must be some way to get this working without the file edit.

Hello to everybody, I have a question: is it possible to customize the title of the arcade section as follows:

home of the arcade section --> "my title for arcade section"
each games/each page --> using the %action% tag

So, show a different title only for the home page.
Thanks for help!

This fix works on 3.7X too..
