k2 page titles configure was created by Roman Lipatov

Hi!
I need to create page title tags not same as item title.
So, if item title = item title, I need page title tag = my specific page title.
I think, I can do it using k2 extra fields.
But I can't find which file to edit — to set my page title tag = extra field with ID 1 (example).
Can you point me in right direction?
Thanks!

Hello,
You need to override the item.php file.

You can paste it in the itemHeader div, directly under the item's title.

Extrafields can be directly rendered in your template so you do not have to move the entire extrafields block.

You probably didn't understand me...
I'm talking about meta tag Page title

I need to replace default meta tag <title> which is equal of k2 item title, on my own (for example k2 extra field)

Like what Krikor said, you just have to override item.php

To add custom page title based on your extra field value, try this

<?php
$newtitle= $this->item->extraFields->EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE->value;
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);
?>

Simply replace EXTRAFIELDALIASHERE with the actual alias of the extra field you wish to output.

Hi,

I would like to do the same but is not working for me.
I did override and pasted the code Kannan published with the correct Extra Fields alias in the item.php but now I have as Browser Page Title the page url and in the page code the meta name title has always the K2 article title.
Check this page : new.verticalife.it/index.php/it/viaggi-trekking-in-nepal/templi-e-vette-dell-himalaya

I've pasted it here :

<div class="itemHeader">
	
     <?php
		$newtitle= $this->item->extraFields->PageTitle->value;
		$document = JFactory::getDocument();
		$document->setTitle($newtitle);
		?>

	<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemDateCreated')): ?>
	<!-- Date created -->

"PageTitle" is my Extra Fileds alias.

Can you please help me?

Many thanks!

Giorgio

Hi,

I use this code to place the article-title and the category in the page title. So far it's working:

<?php
$newtitle= (' Review: ' . $this->item->title . ' | ' . $this->item->category->name);
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);
?>

My problem: When an article has the special character >> ' << , it shows the html-code in the page title instead: #039;

> For example, "Spock's Beard" is getting "Spock#039;s Beard" in the page title.

Any idea how I could fix that?

:-)

Thanks to Krikore (See also gist.github.com/kricore/2c9a5434748c5f5f6cf9)

$safe 		= array("", "");
$nonsafe 		= array("'", "\"");
$custometa 	 = $this->item->title;
$safemeta 	= str_replace( $nonsafe, $safe, $custometa);
echo $safemeta;

Thank you!

Unfortunately I am no coder and need some help how to integrate this within my code ... Where do I have to put the " $safemeta;" ? Something like this (does not work ...) ?

<?php
$safe 		= array("", "");
$nonsafe 		= array("'", "\"");
$custometa 	 = $this->item->title;
$safemeta 	= str_replace( $nonsafe, $safe, $custometa);

$newtitle= (' Review: ' . $safemeta . ' | ' . $this->item->category->name);
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);

?>

You will need to add this to your item.php overrides.
Make sure to always use overrides :) getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

Yep, for sure - I know :-)

You can place it pretty anywhere in the item.php file.

Sorry, I don't get it. I tried this:

<?php

$safe 		= array("", "");
$nonsafe 		= array("'", "\"");
$custometa 	 = (' Review: ' . $this->item->title . ' | ' . $this->item->category->name);

$newtitle= str_replace( $nonsafe, $safe, $custometa);
$document = JFactory::getDocument();
$document->setTitle($newtitle);

?>

But the ' still is in the title tag. What do I not understand?
