Add this at top of your index.php file in your template
<?php
$query_post = $database->query("SELECT title FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE post_id = '".$post_id."'");
if($query_post->numRows() > 0) {
$post = $query_post->fetchRow();
}
$post_title=$post['title'].' ';
?>
Add this at top of your index.php file in your head tags of your template
<title><?php page_title(); if ($post_title != ' ') { echo ' - '; } echo $post_title; ?></title>
nice i'll give it a try tomorrow!
beer thirty now!

This works fantastic!
I altered it a bit and used the modified version to pull in the 'short content' into the meta description too.
For the title I reversed the order of the elements - so that the article title appears first, and the website name does not appear in the titles...
<title><?php if ($post_title != ' ') echo $post_title; page_title('','[PAGE_TITLE]'); ?></title>
NOTE: This effects titles site wide - if you want your website name to remain in your title, but at the end I think you can use something like...
<title><?php if ($post_title != ' ') echo $post_title; page_title('[PAGE_TITLE]','[WEBSITE_TITLE]'); ?></title>
For the unique description hack I added this initial code (before the doctype - same as the title hack)...
<?php
$query_post = $database->query("SELECT content_short FROM ".TABLE_PREFIX."mod_news_posts WHERE post_id = '".$post_id."'");
if($query_post->numRows() > 0) {
$post = $query_post->fetchRow();
}
$post_description=$post['content_short'].' ';
?>
and then put this in the meta content..
<meta name="description" content="<?php if ($post_description != ' ') echo $post_description; { echo ' '; } page_description(); ?>" />
I'm no programer so there is probably a more effecient way to accomplish this but I'm tickled pink with myself for managing this much :lol:
Here is a link to a working sample:
Christian Articles (http://www.arizonaladiesministries.com/pages/christian-articles.php)
Click one of the articles there - I linked to the section rather than the individual article since the URL shouldn't change over time
Great tip, this is just what i needed thanks mucjly :)
