How to get text on Blue bar at top of webpage??

moggie4000 · 12-01-2010 09:20PM #1

Hi All,

I am looking for some help please. I want to put text/keywords on the blue bar at the top of my website pages e.g. on this site it's boards.ie - Post New Thread - etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Within the head section use the title tag.

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the webpage</title>
</head>
<body>
.....

Small correction required to that

<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the web[s]site[/s] [b]page[/b]</title>
</head>
<body>

No, it should just work.
There isn't a lot more to say about it unless you want to post up your html.

You're using Joomla if its for the site I had a look at the other day. Should be a way to add it from where you edit your pages, not completely familiar with Joomla but I'm pretty sure you don't need to go near the code to edit this.

Ok, put it in here.

<head>
<title>blah de blah</title>
<jdoc:include type="head" style="xhtml" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="templates/_system/css/general.css" type="text/css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $this->baseurl; ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->template?>/css/template_css.css" type="text/css" />

<link rel="alternate" title="<?php echo $mainframe->getCfg('sitename');?>" href="index2.php?option=com_rss&no_html=1" type="application/rss+xml" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://www.pitchmaintenance.com/images/favicon.ico >
</head>

That works for me when refreshed.

**edit D'Oh!
Glad you got it sorted.

If it's joomla it should generate the page title based on what on the page. You can also set the page title in the menu link settings.
