    Home Page Title Not Showing

    Every page within the online store is fine and shows the page title no problems, but the home page only is not showing the title of the page or the keywords or description.

    I have checked the design and that is fine, I have then gone into the home page details page, and here I have general, page settings and layout.

    In the general tab I have the keywords and description filled out. In the page settings I can see Page Title and Page Filename only, these have values in, and the layout has the normal.

    I have not an idea where to fix this.

    Thanks

    If all those fields are populated it suggests there is something wrong with the code in the <head>

    Are you using a different layout for your homepage?

    Could you post the head code here for us to have a look? Please use the code tags above (#)

      Hi thanks for the quick reply. I have just tested something, and when I preview the home page the tags are there, and its fine, but when I publish it, thats when the issue arises.

      I am using the same design throughout the site.

      Here are the head tags.
      Code:
      <head>
      <meta http-equiv=Content-Type content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
      <title>
      <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%22Section%22">
      		<actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionPageTitle%22%20%2f%3e%20%20%21%3d%20%22%22">
      			<actinic:variable name="PageTitle" />	
      		</actinic:block>	
      		<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 name="SectionName" />
      		</actinic:block>
      	</actinic:block>

                    Thanks for sendig that, just that its now messed up the way the catalogue pages titles behave. Also, its putting the name before everything now, and just the company name.

                    IE: Home, Company Name

                    I want it to show the page title that I set first and foremost, and then if nothing entered to show the company and the page name ie. Home.

                    Sorry to be pain, just on deadline..

                      Just Pick and choose the bits you want to use, you don't have to use the complete code.

                      Change PageName variable to PageTitle see if that gives you what you want.

                        Jeez... I have now done this and the bloody home page is still showing nothing at all. Its just blank again.

                        Here is the code I have now:

                        Code:
                        <title>
                        <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%20%27Section%27">

                        <actinic:variable name="CompanyName" /> : <actinic:variable name="SectionName" />
                        </actinic:block>
                        <actinic:block if="%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22SectionLevel%22%20%2f%3e%20%3d%3d%200">

                        </actinic:block>

                        <actinic:variable name="CompanyName" /> : <actinic:variable name="BrochureName" />
                        </actinic:block>
                        <actinic:block if="%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%27Section%27%29%20AND%20%28%3cactinic%3avariable%20name%3d%22PageType%22%20%2f%3e%20%21%3d%20%27Brochure%27%29" >

                          Just try putting the variable you want to show in between the <title> tags and preview the page. Get rid of the blocks for now.

                          Does it display correctly?
