Home page title

[Darren B]

Have a look here

http://www.casupply.co.uk/acatalog/index.html

I edited the database, increased the characters to 60 and then put the text in

alot easier than messing with the layouts, if you want to know i can tell you how

Cheers

It seems to omit the title tags around <Actinic:Variable Name="PageTitle"/> on the shop top page, if i put them in on mine and add some text, it shows straight away?

Ok..I've increased the field for this main name...edited the text, uploaded...but STILL I'm only getting Budget Bumps in the title of this damn page!!

I need a break...will come back to it when the kids are in bed!
Expect to hear more from me after 8 LOL

Hi Tracey,
I might have completely misunderstood you, but, I think i noticed in the picture u posted the meta description is the same as the information you are trying to use.
Why not add the meta description varible to it?

that's great advice actually, paul.
And your code above inspired me to try something else...namely changing a different line to the one I'd been trying to change.
Lee, the homepage one IS the CompanyName line. I thought I'd tried it but perhaps I was on a different page when it didn't appear to work


Is so bloody hard to make out to blockifs when they're all laid out in code.. and I'm only just getting my head around interpretting them as it is

I sorted it!!!

My humblest thanks to Lee and Paul!! and Darren too (sorry that had to come in an edit ) because you inspired me to open Access and change the limited field...even though it ultimately appeared to make no difference to the page title LOL

Glad you got it all sorted now though

just visited this tread and came across the middle of the code at the end of an interesting thread -

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionPageTitle%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3d%3d%20%22%22" ><actinic:variable name="CompanyName" /> <actinic:variable encoding="actinic" name="SectionName" />  <actinic:variable name="MetaDescription" /></actinic:block>

giving CompanyName SectionName MetaDescription
should you have every page starting with your company name, seems a bit boring - I've changed mine to the following

<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionPageTitle%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%3d%3d%20%22%22" ><actinic:variable encoding="actinic" name="SectionName" /> at <actinic:variable name="CompanyName" />  <actinic:variable name="MetaDescription" /></actinic:block>

giving SectionName at CompanyName MetaDescription

at Least it generates something like "baby clothes at budgetbumps" rather than "budgetbumps baby clothes" - it sort of reads better - perhaps its just me.

[TraceyHand]

good idea, Kevin
I don't think many of my section pages use the company name like this in the page title anyway but I'll have a look.

Cheers
