Customizing Search Title

[flasyn]

Hi,

when I do a Search the pagetitle is "Search results", beneath that it displays the actual term I searched for Search results - "xyz").

Is there any way to put this search term in the pagetitle?

Your help would be much appreciated!

Okay, at least I found where the Code is:

in thumbnails.php, line 165

Code Select Expand

pageheader(isset($CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA) ? $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['title'] : $lang_meta_album_names[$album]);

-> This gives the Thumbnailpages its name.

in include/functions.inc.php, line 1241 is:

Code Select Expand

$album_name = $lang_meta_album_names['search'].' - "'. strtr($search_string, $HTML_SUBST) . '"';

which returns the term one searched for. Is there any way to add the searchterm to the pagetitle? Just adding

Code Select Expand

"'. strtr($search_string, $HTML_SUBST) . '"'; to the pageheader does not work...

Here's one way to do it.  Look for this line in thumbnails.php (as you pointed out):

Code Select Expand

pageheader(isset($CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA) ? $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['title'] : $lang_meta_album_names[$album]);
and replace it with these 3 lines:

Code Select Expand

$page_title = isset($CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA) ? $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['title'] : $lang_meta_album_names[$album];
$page_title .= $_POST['search'] ? ' - "'.$_POST['search'].'"' : '';
pageheader($page_title);

I split it into 3 lines to make it clear what you have added.

Thank you very much for replying and helping out!

Unfortunatly the posted code did not work (the search term did not show up).

I fiddled a bit around:

Code Select Expand

$page_title = isset($CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA) ? $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['title'] : $lang_meta_album_names[$album];
$page_title .= $QUERY_STRING['search'] ? ' - "'.$QUERY_STRING['search'].'"' : '';
pageheader($page_title);

for example did work, returning me the whole searchstring (thumbnails.php?album=search&type=full&search=xxx) in the page title. But of course  no one wants the whole url, just the term.

But it seems to be the right  direction. Maybe you have another idea?

I just did it:

Code Select Expand


$page_title = isset($CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA) ? $CURRENT_ALBUM_DATA['title'] : $lang_meta_album_names[$album];
$page_title .= $_REQUEST['search'] ? ' - "'.$_REQUEST['search'].'"' : '';
pageheader($page_title);

does the trick.

Thank you very much indeed, Paver.

I wouldn't have been able to do it..

I'm not sure why $_POST didn't work for you.  Maybe it's a server issue.  Do you which webserver your site is on?  You can check the Coppermine DEBUG_INFO for this.

Good for you for figuring out how to get it to work for your site!

If $_POST doesn't work, you probably have an ancient PHP version and should upgrade if the server is yours to administer. If it isn't suggest a PHP upgrade to your webhost.

No, I got the most recent version (php5). I know it should work, but it just doesn't 
..anyways, I'm quite happy with the $_REQUEST
