subforum name in page title

How can I add the subforum name to each forum page's title? For example, this post you're reading right now has a page title of "subforum name in page title - vBulletin SEO Forums". How would I get it to say "General Discussion - subforum name in page title - vBulletin SEO Forums"?

Is this possible?

Hello,

you should modify SHOWTHREAD template for that:
FIND:

HTML Code:

<title>$thread[title]

REPLACE WITH:

HTML Code:

<title>$forum[title] - $thread[title]

Thank you, that was exactly what I'm looking for.

How would I do exactly the same thing for the archive pages?

To do it on the archive pages, you would need to modify the PHP code, or possibly using a plugin to modify the output.

But, who uses the archive anymore anyway?

Maybe I'm not up on things, but I thought the archive was still an important part of SEO? Vbseo still has enough settings for it. Should I disable my archive?

Discussion: Why the vBulletin archive is useless and counterproductive

So the jury is still out.

In the meantime, any tips on editing my PHP file? I don't see anything there quite like what's in the template.

In archive/index.php file FIND:

PHP Code:

$title = "$threadinfo[title] 


REPLACE WITH:

PHP Code:

$title = "$foruminfo[title] - $threadinfo[title] 


Excellent, that's exactly what I needed. Thanks!

do not make archive title and actual showthread titles one and same (BEWARE)

Right now archive titles all have [archive] added, is that enough?
