Add Forum Title to the end of Thread

[Brain916]

Hello,
I wanted to know how to add the Forum title to the end of a thread title (tag)
Basically, for the Forum I have "Road Bike Forum", and a thread title would be something like "What is a Road Bike?". I would like it to look like this: What is a Road Bike - Road Bike Forum.

I am using VBulletin 4, and VBseo as well. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hello Brian,

You can't add forum title to your showthread title tag by simply putting {vb:raw foruminfo.title_clean}, because there's no a $foruminfo variable registered in showthread.php file. So please try this:

* Create a plugin with the following content:

vB_Template::preRegister(  
    'SHOWTHREAD', array('forumTitle' => $forumTitle)  
); 

Product: vBulletin
Hook Location: showthread_complete

Then activate and save the plugin.

* Edit your SHOWTHREAD template:

Find:

    <title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title}</title>

Replace with:

    <title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title} - {vb:raw forumTitle}</title>

And let me know if you achieve what you want.

Best regards.

That added the category name not the board name for me...

I just added the text in after the title in SHOWTHREAD and FORUMDISPLAY templates...

<title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title} - Site Mame</title>

works fine.

Hello Alex,

Brian was asking that precisely. If you want to add your board title, you should use {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle} instead of {vb:raw forumTitle}.

Best regards.

Hi, I modified that code to this:
<title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title} - {vb:raw forumTitle} <vb:if condition="$pagenumber > 1">{vb:rawphrase page_x, {vb:raw pagenumber}}</vb:if></title>

For example the thread has a lot of posts and the title becomes "Thread title - Forum Title Page 2" How to make it "Thread title - Forum title - Page 2". If I just add - the title of the first page of the thread becomes "Thread title - Forum Title page -". It adds that unnecessary -. Waiting for your help. Thanks

Please try adding the dash after the opening <vb:if tag:

<title>{vb:raw thread.prefix_plain_html} {vb:raw thread.title} - {vb:raw forumTitle} <vb:if condition="$pagenumber > 1">- {vb:rawphrase page_x, {vb:raw pagenumber}}</vb:if></title>

I don't want to create another thread so I will ask about subforum titles.
For example the forum is "Music" and the sub-forum is called "Music creation by computer"
Is there a way to make a title of that sub-forum "Music creation by computer - Music" ?

You are talking about including the parent forum title of a sub-forum inside forum title?.

As far as I understand YES I want to change the sub-forum's title.

Find in your FORUMDISPLAY template:

    <title>{vb:raw foruminfo.title_clean}</title>

Replace with:

    <title>{vb:raw foruminfo.title_clean} - {vb:raw foruminfo.parenttitle}</title>

Thanks works perfectly
