<title> <? $maintitle ?>

[slaeya]

Hi All,

 

I know this has probably been asked a million and one times but when I searched the forums I didn't quite find what I was looking for (I'm not saying its not there)

 

So....

 

Obviously I'm trying to get the <title> to populate.

 

I have an SQL Database I am attempting to draw the information form.

 

 

template.php

 

<title>Fox Photography - <? echo $maintitle; ?></title>

 

now for the controller home.php (I'm aware I can set the index page manually as it is not a dynamic page however if I can get this one sorted then I will be able to fix the rest in home.php (function pages))

 

I have also removed ALLLL my failed attempts at getting this to work so this is just base code without defining the variable $maintitle

 

home.php

 

function index()
{

	$page_sefurl='home';
	$table= 'pages';
	$where= $page_sefurl;
	$query=$this->common_model->getComboxpages($table,$where);
	foreach($query->result() as $rows)
		{
			$array['page_name']				=	$rows->page_name ;
			$array['page_metakeyword']		=	$rows->page_metakeyword ;
			$array['page_metadescription']	=	$rows->page_metadescription;
			$array['page_content']			=	$rows->page_content;
			$array['page_sefurl']			=	$rows->page_sefurl;
			$data['contents'] = $this->load->view('user/pages',$array,true);	

		}

		$this->load->view('user/template' , $data);
	}

function pages($page_sefurl,$client_login='')
{
	if ($page_sefurl=='client-login')
	{
		$page_sefurl=$client_login;
	}

	$where="page_sefurl='".$page_sefurl."'";
	$page_id =$this->common_model->getSingleValue('pages',$where,'page_id');

	$table= 'pages';
	$where= $page_sefurl;
	$query=$this->common_model->getComboxpages($table,$where);
	if($query->num_rows()>0)
	{
		foreach($query->result() as $rows)
		{
			$array['page_name']				=	$rows->page_name ;
			$array['page_metakeyword']		=	$rows->page_metakeyword ;
			$array['page_metadescription']	=	$rows->page_metadescription;
			$array['page_content']			=	$rows->page_content;
			$array['page_sefurl']			=	$rows->page_sefurl;
			$data['contents'] = $this->load->view('user/pages',$array,true);	

		}

		$this->load->view('user/template' , $data);
	}
	else
	{
		header("Location: ".base_url()."home/index");
	}
}

 

I'm more than happy to just be given a link to an article to read as I don't expect others to just write the code for me.  I'd rather learn than have someone fixing my "stuffups" all the time.

 

Cheers

 

Dave

The way i do mine, (im sure it's not the best by any means lol, but hey it works for me) is I take the name of the page, ie. Home, and i call it to the title

My url would look like this:

www.mysite.com/index.php?node=home

$page = $_GET['node']; // so that would in this case be "home"

<title><?php print ucwords($page)?> - My Website</title> // so this would be <title>Home - My Website</title>

 

And then i use if and else, and or str_replace if i need to edit what i want in the title vs whats in the url. such as add a space, remove a space, remove an s, remove a _ or whatever it may be.

 

sorry if this doesn't make much sense, it's 5am

 

questions? ask please

Shortysbest,

 

Thanks for your reply, yes this does make complete sense.  To my understanding the the php app is designed inhibits the use of ...../index.php?node=home

 

I have tried they way you mentioned on my own PHP site previously and that seems to work fine.  I just don't want to mess a friends site up.

 

Cheers,
