I'm using news module as the main page, but in the browser bar, I want to use a personalized sentence instead of the latest news published. What files have I to change... and where?

Thks

Which version of the News module are you using?

Hervet's News module (1.42) offers custom keywords and page title I believe.

Wonder,

I was mistaken on the page title, but you can change the META data and description. Just go into the module preferences and look for the "Enable meta datas (keywords and description) to be entered ?" option. Turn that on. Once you've done that, you should be able to enter custom meta data for each new article. For old articles, you'll need to go back and add the data you want.

Hope this helps.

What I was talking about... was something like... well... in XOOPS main page title bar, you have: Official XOOPS Website - Powered by you!.

As I use the news module as main page... it shows My Site Title - Name of the latest news... I want to edit the file where the info to choose that "subtitle" as the latest news title, and put my personal subtitle.

I think I explained it better now... ^^ Thank you for using your time in my problem.

Ah! Ok, now I understand. If you're only wanting your slogan on your homepage, then you'll need to do a little hacking in your theme using an "if" statement.

I believe something like the following might work:


<title><{$xoops_sitename}> - <{php}>if ($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']=='/modules/news/index.php'){

echo 'Your Custom Slogan';

}else{

echo '<{$xoops_pagetitle}>';

}<{/php}></title>

Hope this helps.

It's working greatly! Thank you a lot! But "echo" turns {$xoops_pagetitle} in text...

Try changing

echo '<{$xoops_pagetitle}>';

to:

echo '$xoops_pagetitle';

I'm a php n00b so this is trial an error for me as well.
