Thread

Hello,

I’m using the MSM and EE forum module to power several different forums across multiple domains. I would like to remove “Powered by ExpressionEngine” from the title of my forums and replace it with something more appropriate for SEO purposes.

I’ve searched and found that you can modify line 1621 of mod.forum.php

$this->_set_page_title(($title == '') ? 'Powered By ExpressionEngine' : $title);

How can I change this setting to say something different for each forum instead of a generic phrase shared by all?

I don’t see a good way to do that.  At this point, I think a Feature Request would be the best solution.

Hi,

If anyone else encounters this problem I figured out a solution that seems to work.

Instead of messing with mod.forum.php as referenced above, I went into the global skin templates (html header) and added a uri segment conditional to the existing title tags.

{if segment_2 ==""}
<title>custom index title here</title>
{if:else}
<title>{forum_name} | {page_title}</title>
{/if}

I would still like to see a setting in the ACP though, so I’ll go submit a feature request.

Jacob:

Thanks for posting your solution.  If anything else comes up, please don’t hesitate to start a new thread.

Thank you,
