    Taglines

    • <h1>Carolina Mountain Living<br /><small>Making Dreams of Mountain Living Come True</small></h1>
      In RT templates from several years back there was the option for a Site Name with a tagline tucked under it. In more recent times we have gone more for graphics. I have always believed that for Google's sake your main title needed to be in a <h1> tag since Google can't read graphics. So I have been trying for a small graphic logo on left with title in <h1> and the tagline tucked underneath the title. It all ends up in the <h1> tag or the tagline becomes a new paragraph. What I show above seems to work in the editor but the <small> tag gets ignored on the actual page. Any clues?
      Thanks

    • The "build title spans"-feature removes all custom code inside h1, h2 and h3.
      Disable that feature and your code should work better ...

    • Any advise on how to code a module that go in the logo position that would include a small graphic logo, h1 title and slug tightly snugged up to the h1 title. The parameters would let you select the graphic, specify the title and slug. Once it was assigned to the logo position you could change templates and have your client's logo and seo title and slug go along.
      Thanks

    • I would not code a module. You could o a feature for this.
      I would copy this file

      /libraries/gantry/features/logo.php

      into the features folder of you template to override the core feature and modify in for your needs (also change the corresponding template-options.xml.

      But wouldnt it be easier to just create a couple of custom html modules adn assign them to the pages you want?

    • Yes, any of the those option might be workable. I prefer J1.6 HTML module to custom html because even with blacklist off the joomla gods insist on not allowing stuff.

      Here is my thinking and I would appreciate some help. From my perspective solo graphic logos are not good for SEO they are mostly web graphic designer's beauty marks. Years ago probably in the pre-RocketTheme era Andy did a series of templates that included a small graphic logo with business name in an H1 tag with a slogan snugged up under the title. It was all set as I recall in the template config. I went back looking but couldn't figure out which ones they might be J1.0.

      Anyway I really don't care how it is implemented other than it would be nice if would persist when templates are changed or update.

      I'm just not good enough with css and stuff to duplicate Andy's skill. For all my trying getting the 3 elements snugged together with all the right tags frustrates me to no end. Maybe I obsess over this too much but I have a long way to go with SEO and one of the checklist said this was important.

      Thanks for your help!
