Changing title and description for custom templates
Author Vishal

I have created a custom template page "links.html". How can I get minibb to display the title of the page as "Links" and some custom description? By default, it displays the forum title and description.

I saw in your contact form that the title is displayed as "Contacting Us".

I think, you will need to paste code like suggested below in bb_plugins.php...

if($action=='tpl' and $_GET['tplName']=='links'){
//$title.='Links'; //forums title displayed first
$title='Links - '.substr($title,0,strlen($title)-2); //forums title displayed after
$description='Your custom description goes here';
}

You may comment/uncomment necessary values for $title.

Thanks Paul! I used $description="Custom description" instead of $customDescription and it works fine. Is there anything wrong with it?

Ok, it also will work that way. Maybe it's even better -) I've fixed the code above.

}

If I have multiple templates so do I need to make this separately for each one? or there is another option?

I added "$metaRobots" also and it worked because made it "index,follow".

Well, if you will have multiple templates, what kind of option it could be? Each of templates may surely have its own title and description, so whatever you must to code, is to copy-paste this code and then modify it. I don't see the simpler way :)

Yes, you can add $metaRobots for each template, that is fine.
