Home page Title changing Nav Link

[Big_Dave]

Hi and I'm sorry to be posting yet another query about the Home page title. I've spent some time reading through previous threads but can't find what I am looking for.

I want to change my Home page Title to something more meaningful than 'Home' so that something more descriptive is displayed in the Blue bar.

However when I do this, the 'Home' page link at the top of my store pages changes also. How can I keep the 'Home' page link as 'Home' in my store pages but have something else as the Home page Title for 'Blue Bar purposes'.

I'm using the Smart design.

Please help.

Unfortunately under the brochure system for the home page, then Page Title is used for both the title in the browser and the title on the menu's..

Quick and dirty solution is to open up your Act_BrochurePrimary template you are using for the home page (located if using the default under Design | Options | Brochure tab | Overall Layout) and click the edit button, or if you have a specific one in use, the layout on the home page...

Anyway... Open this up in a text editor and locate the line very close to the top as follows:

<TITLE>NETQUOTEVAR:PAGETITLE</TITLE>

Change this to:

<TITLE>CUSTOMVAR:MYPAGETITLE</TITLE>

Save the file as a new pagefilename, say Act_BrochurePrimaryHome.html (This is important otherwise this will affect all Brochure pages and will not work as you want).

Next go to your home page and put in the layout as:

Act_BrochurePrimaryHome.html

Now, go into Advanced | Custom Properties and create a new Proterty called MyPageTitle and have it as text based.

Apply that and now go back into Design | Options | Site Defaults and click the + symbol to add a new property. Locate your new MyPageTitle and give it the value you want shown in the browser title bar (if on Business or above click Use as CUSTOMVAR).

Apply it all and then preview your page and what ever you change around within that value for MyPageTitle will show for the home page...

Simple enough but probably plenty of other ways like doing straight in the template (after saving under a new name) which would do away with custom property usage, but I prefer to do the html once and then adjust easily in the custom properties as I go along.
