******************************************************************** P A G E T I T L E M O D U L E ******************************************************************** Original Author: Robert Douglass Current Maintainers: Nicholas Thompson and John Wilkins ******************************************************************** DESCRIPTION: This module gives you control over the page title. It gives you the chance to provide patterns for how the title should be structured, and on node pages, gives you the chance to specify the page title rather than defaulting to the node title. ******************************************************************** PERMISSIONS: This module defines the "set page title" and "administer page titles" permissions. The "set page title" permission determines whether a user will be able to edit the "Page title" field on node edit forms (if visible.) The "administer page titles" permission determines whether a user will be able to edit the "Page title" administration pages. ******************************************************************** INSTALLATION: 1. Place the entire page_title directory into your Drupal modules/ directory or the sites modules directory (eg site/default/modules) 2. Enable this module by navigating to: Administer > Build > Modules At this point the Drupal install system will attempt to create the database table page_title. You should see a message confirming success or proclaiming failure. If the database table creation did not succeed, you will need to manually add the following table definition to your database: CREATE TABLE `page_title` ( `nid` INT NOT NULL , `page_title` VARCHAR( 128 ) NOT NULL , PRIMARY KEY ( `nid` ) ) /*!40100 DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8 */; 3. Optionally configure the two variations of page title by visiting: Administer > Content management > Page titles 4. The page title is ultimately set at the theme level. To let your PHPTemplate based theme interact with this module, you need to add some code to the template.php file that comes with your theme. If there is no template.php file, you can simply use the one included with this download. Here is the code: function _phptemplate_variables($hook, $vars) { $vars = array(); if ($hook == 'page') { // These are the only important lines if (module_exists('page_title')) { $vars['head_title'] = page_title_page_get_title(); } } return $vars; } As you can see from the code comment, there are only three important lines of code: if (module_exists('page_title')) { $vars['head_title'] = page_title_page_get_title(); } These lines need to be added to the 'page' hook of the _phptemplate_variables function. Alternately, you can call page_title_page_get_title() from page.tpl.php directly at the place where the title tag is generated.
