Search engine friendly page titles

How do I set it up that articles, events, and blog posts have html page titles that match their titles? Right now on my site: RIAspot.com the titles are generic which is lousy for search engines.

 

BTW - for Boonex developers - this should be default behavior on installation.

Now dolphin(from 6.1) uses SE friendly urls.

The question was TITLES, not URLS...

I totally agree rinpoche... I have been working on getting the titles to be SEO for my articles.

Have you found a solution yet?

I need my page titles to be exactly what the article titles are. Does anyone know how to do that?

Thank you.

I found a way to make the article name appear in the site's header <title></title>

You must be using SE friendly urls, so that the article name appears in the link instead of action=viewarticle&articleID=71

in articles.php

find

$_page['header'] = _t( "_ARTICLES_H", $site['title'] );

and replace with

$_page['header'] = _t( "_ARTICLES_H", $site['title'], $_REQUEST['articleUri'] );

in inc/languages.inc.php

find

$str = str_replace('{0}', $arg0, $str);
$str = str_replace('{1}', $arg1, $str);
$str = str_replace('{2}', $arg2, $str);

after those lines add,

$str = str_replace('-', ' ', $str);

now in your site admin panel under Settings > Language Settings

search for _ARTICLES_H, the current string is probably

{0}: Articles

click Edit and change the string to

{0}: Articles > {1}

after the language has recompiled, the article name will now appear in the title
