Page title tags and joomla/JCE

[iain]

I'm working with a joomla/JCE website. At the moment, the 'title' field in articels controls the page title, menu item name and H1 tag. I've read that I can stop this happening so that I can name each separately and get my Page title tag back! Is anyone using joomla/JCE and can give any advice on how to do this?

Many thanks.

Hi Iain

In Joomla you can control the meta Title tag through the menu item by going to the Page Display Options for the relevant menu item and entering your Title into the "Browser Page Title" field. You do not need to set "Show Page Heading" field underneath to Yes as that is a separate function.

I hope that helps,

Hi Peter,

Many thanks for the speedy response.

My problem is that the site has installed the JCE editor which means all the original menus have been superceded. So, I don't have any page display options!

I've read a lot about getting SEO working for joomla but almost none of it applies to JCE - unless I'm missing something, which is more than possible.

I'm faced with an Article Manager module that allows for the entry of a 'Title' field that drives everything - I think - so the field has to be determined by the name of the navigation menu item.

I'm a little frustrated!

Cheers,

Iain

Hi Peter,

I'm now answering my own emails!

I have located the page display options hidden in another module so now I just look a bit of an idiot.

Par for the course, really!

Cheers,

No problem. The JCE Editor doesn't set the Meta Title Tag, just the content that is contained in an article. It sounds though that you have now found the relevant place. So is it working for you now?
