How to remove forum title from CMS articles?

[fogjuice]

Can someone tell me what template I need to edit to remove my forum name from all of my CMS article pages?

I only want my forum title to be in the title tag of the main index page, not every single CMS article posted.

*edit*

I found out that if I edit vbcms_page then I can remove the title, but that also removes it from the index page and I do not want to do that. Does anyone know how to remove it strictly from the article pages, but not the main content page?

<title><vb:if condition="$vboptions['cmstitle']">{vb:raw vboptions.cmstitle}<vb:else />{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</vb:if> - {vb:raw html_title}</title>
 <!--<title>{vb:raw html_title}</title>-->

to

<title>{vb:raw html_title}</title>
 <!--<title>{vb:raw html_title}</title>-->

However that removes the main title from every CMS page including the index. Is there a vb:if to check what page it's on and if it's the main index page, not remove it?

every CMS page uses the cms_page template as it's base display engine.

It may be possible to use something like
{vb:raw contentid}

in a conditional. if it has a content ID, its probably not the homepage.

Any idea how I could implement that into an if condition on the vbcms template sheet?

[Brian Cummiskey]

something like

<title>{vb:raw html_title}<vb:if condition="!{vb:raw contentid}"> - {vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</vb:if></title>

may work. again, untested.

Just noticed this... wow this is unbelievable. Why the heck does vBulletin have this crap by default? Oh my what a bright idea... let's have every CMS page have the same title as the site. What are they thinking?

Anyway, I tried your code Brian but when I saved it got an error and it suggested I go back and fix it, so I just deleted it and put back in the original. Is there any way you or someone else could test this code on your end to find out what it needs to be?

Thanks

just noticed another problem with the homepage (if you have CMS set for home) and that is the section title is added after the normal title.... how frustrating I need to find a fix asap.

Here is a screenshot of the error... no one can help?

Just use this one

<title>{vb:raw html_title}</title>

[MTD]

adom81 - please see first post, that removes the title from every CMS page including index.

Anyone???

[adom81]

Please check my site out, I did it as I posted.
Categories, sections and articles' titles display it without forum title

I just tried it, but it showed the section title for the homepage title?

I just tried it, but it showed the section title for the homepage title?

It's weird :S
Mine is okay, and I followed this instruction

edit
vbcms_page
find

<title><vb:if condition="$vboptions['cmstitle']">{vb:raw vboptions.cmstitle}<vb:else />{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</vb:if> -{vb:raw html_title}</title>

leave
<title>{vb:raw html_title}</title>

Sorry, man
Thats all I can say

[adom81]

Have you ever changed the sections' tittles via customizing on front page?
That may be reason.

If you go to my homepage, the "Latest Credit Card Reviews" is the section, so that's what shows for the homepage when I change it to <title>{vb:raw html_title}</title>.

The title I want to show for the homepage is what it used to be, which was "Credit Card Forum - Best Credit Card Deals, Reviews, & Offers" but I need to keep the title of that section "Latest Credit Card Reviews" the same. How can I accomplish that?

This isn't pretty, but it does seem to work. There doesn't seem to be a better way without making a plugin and registering a template var for this.

Var to use: {vb:raw page_url}
<title>{vb:raw html_title}<vb:if condition="$page_url== 'http://mydomain.com/content.php'"> - <{vb:raw vboptions.bbtitle}</vb:if></title>

Load your CMS homepage and find the "var to use" string at the top of the page. It should be some sort of content.php url with your full domain, etc (un-seo'ed). Plug it in, and delete the prompt so it doesn't show on your site.

Also, in order for this to be reliable, you need to make sure you have set up www vs non-www's so there is only one access method.
