Different Titles for Category Pages

[rookers]

If it's not there then you cant make it work unless you add the function yourself.

There's lots of other things you can, don't get stuck on one small item.

Other things as what? I dont look at this category titles issue as a small thing, especially when google sitemaps diagnostics section repots that I have 16,000 duplicate titles .. which is not good at all

Try using $pagination

Other things like $category, $category_name, $category_description,
$content, $page_title and $editors

An example would be
$page_title - $category_name - $category_description - Edited by $editors

Tried adding these to the title, however these doesnt make title of category
page unique..

Anyway,

If someone could help me with that $page function that already exists on Indexu Deluxe it would be great. That solves the problem 100%.

Did you try $title

Did you try $title

Hey,

Listen, I appreciate you trying to help me out however i dont think you understand exactly what I want. Ok, i will explain again. I want to add the page number to the title. If I add anything else, a category ( let's call it Auto ) that has 10 pages, won't be unique. I want each page title of the Auto category to have a number, Example: Auto - Page 1, Auto - Page 2, and so on. I see this is possible on Indexu Deluxe, However i think this is also possible on version 5.4, however i dont know how to do it.

I understand what you want, it's not available. You either need to add it by writing the PHP yourself or move on to something else.

Well it is available, however it's available as you said, by adding the PHP. The problem is that i dont know how to do it, this is why i asked for help on the forum.

Your response " move on to something else " does not help at all. This is the only solution i can think of to make the titles unique. Moving to another script, after 3 years of using indexu does not help my site at all.

If you want to hire someone to write it for you then go ahead. It's not a built in function in 5.x which is why I told you to move on and try something else, or upgrade to Deluxe.

Good grief...! Can anyone step in here and help this poor man. It's just an additional line of PHP code. Surely there is an active INDEXU member that has some PHP skills to solve this.

if not, rookers, dody is online with live help occasionally. ask him.

global $header, $footer, $category, $category_name, $category_description,
$link, $pagination, $category_path, $content, $editor,
$category_path_search_opt, $meta_keywords, $meta_description,
$page_title, $editors, $sponsored_link, $num_rows,
$num_rows_sponsored, $num_rows_premium;

I'm taking a stab at this, but is it possible to just add "$page" to the globals in the header above?? I'm not sure if you need to add something to the detail.html file or corresponding PHP file as well.

Sorry, my PHP skills just aren't that great.

Well there might be the need to add something to browse.php - that's the file that controls the category pages. Detail.html controls the detail pages, which are unique anyway ( their titles are unique ) .

If someone could help out, i would really appreciate it. I think this is something we can all use, all our sites are affected.

in browse.php just after the line:
$query .= " ) and (category_id = '$cat' or cat1 = '$cat' or cat2 = '$cat')
and suspended = 0";

add the following:
// mod
global $current_page;
$current_page=$pg_which;

in browse.html
title="Browse by categories: $page_title Page: $current_page"

Where's inspireme when you really need him...???

This isn't a support issue, this is a programming issue. Modifying/hacking the script is outside the scope of support. I put a bit of time into this and the results can be seen on http://www.moparmuscle.net

The solution can be found here

I see I shoulda refreshed the page, esm did it already. My method is slightly different, same goal.

[rookers]

Thank you both. The solution offered by Bruceper works like a charm..
