I would like the title to be the title of the news story. - Dave Sat, 18 Oct 2008 23:41:01 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-1011 Hi Cory - Great resource very useful indeed - Thank you This is just what I needed to know, now though I would like to display the category name and maybe the section name sometimes... How would I do these please?? Cheers - Leo Woods Thu, 25 Sep 2008 16:13:31 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-1005 The category id is usually passed in through the URL. You could use JRequest::getVar('catid', ''); to get the value of the category id. - Cory Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:56:20 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-1004 Thanks Cory. I want to apply css based on the category of an article. Any suggestions? - Tad Osborn Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:51:44 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-1003 You could run an SQL query against jos_categories from your template, but I wouldn't advise that. I don't know if there is a simple way of doing this. Another option would be to just create a "custom HTML" module and type the category name directly. - Cory Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:49:19 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-1002 Could you please tell me how to get the Category for an article? - Tad Osborn Thu, 18 Sep 2008 19:47:20 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-994 This is a great tutorial. But I would like to modify it so it just shows which section I am in, not the actual page title. Eg "News" Not the title: "Taiwan has a new President" Any ideas? - Robert Stark Thu, 11 Sep 2008 00:21:47 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-991 Wow......I found it The default page title in Joomla 1.5 is "Welcome to the Frontpage". CHANGE CAN BE DONE FROM: Joomla admin area > Menus > Main Menu > Home > Parameters - System > Page Title. Type in the new page title you wish to use and save the change. Next time you open your website, the new page title will show up in your browser :) - Daniele Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:44:46 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-990 Hi Cory......I wonder if I can get rid of the "welcome to the frontpage" from my site......(joomla 1.5 default template), I don't understand from where I can remove it.....the site title that I have set on the global configuration is different from that, however, when I right click on the live site, and check the source of my index.php it still show "welcome to the frontpage" as a site title..... Thank you in advance - Daniele Sun, 07 Sep 2008 13:19:27 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-989 I was wondering if there was a way to use your method but outputting the title minus the site name. I do not need my site name on each page once more it is redundant. thanks, -austin - austin Sun, 07 Sep 2008 06:00:44 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-981 I found this extremely useful! THANKS! I’m using this for meta tags and so far I’ve been able to use this technique for the following: $mydoc =& JFactory::getDocument(); $description = $mydoc->getDescription(); $generator = $mydoc->getGenerator(); $keywords = $mydoc->getMetaData( 'keywords' ); $author = $mydoc->getMetaData( 'author' ); $mytitle = $mydoc->getTitle(); $conf =& JFactory::getConfig(); $sitename = $conf->getValue('config.sitename'); But I can’t get the “Modified Date” to work. I’ve tried this: $mdate = $mydoc->getModifiedDate(); ( But, it simply shows the current date and time. I’d also like to be able to use the “Created Date” but have found no documentation on getting this at all. Thanks Paul - Paul Wed, 27 Aug 2008 18:51:13 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-970 $this->getTitle() should do the trick also... - Volker Tue, 19 Aug 2008 07:21:55 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-967 Great tip, thanks. Had a question, is it possible for it to show up: sitename - category name - article title? - cchun39 Sun, 17 Aug 2008 16:05:09 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-954 Thanks for the call title tip. However, from a SEO standpoint, it is better NOT to call your site title as part of the page title. Your page will rank much higher without it, sometimes 10-20 slots higher! - Raven Thu, 07 Aug 2008 07:16:00 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-946 That was incredibly easy. I thought I'd have to go through a long winded process to solve the issue, until I found this. Thank you so much for your help! - Jai Sun, 03 Aug 2008 09:17:30 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-924 Hi cory another thing is that how shall i change my FTP setting? because i put my web site url in FTP host and it doesn't work (has error) and when i add the name of my server FTP address ( D:\WWW\PES\myfatherlandiranc.....) it has eroor when i enabale FTP as follow: JFTP::connect: Could not connect to host "D:\WWW\PES\myfatherlandiranc\www m" on port 21 do you know how to do it? may be if i change this then i can install my components or plugins... - Ardi Mon, 21 Jul 2008 03:15:19 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-918 Hi Ardi, I'm so sorry to hear that is happening to you. I have no idea why that might be happening. The only thing I can think of is to make sure the directory permissions on your server are set to at least 7-5-7, but you say you've already done that. - Cory Thu, 17 Jul 2008 08:30:00 +0100 http://www.howtojoomla.net/content/view/86/6/#comment-917 all my permissions are writeable and ok. but i do not know why it happen to me - Ardi Thu, 17 Jul 2008 05:01:53 +0100
