this is a seo thing that has been bugging me for a while
basically, as it stands now with joomla, if you are reading a news item you've got your site name first then the title of the article you're reading at the top of the browser
how can you switch this so you've got the article title then the site name?
if you're developing a brand it's nice to have your site name first but if you're past that and want your actual content to be picked up, if you've got quite a long site name then your titles are having very little effect ...

- In Joomla 1.5, it does display the article title in the title if you set SEO on.

Alledia doesn't use the sitename at all (probably because he has an irrelevant one). Steve uses the joomlaatwork patch to set the page title.
www.alledia.com/blog/ (watch the two recent videos)
There are other hacks around to show the title alias as the page title.
...............................................................
Maybe just try this line in joomla.php(1.0.13) :
function setPageTitle( $title=null ) {
if (@$GLOBALS) {
$title = trim( htmlspecialchars( $title ) );
$title = stripslashes($title);
$this->_head = $title ? $GLOBALS . ' - '. $title : $GLOBALS;
}
}

Hi,
Install this www.joomlatwork.com/products/free_produc...ef_patch_joomla.html there's a free version but if you buy the premium version (only € 8.33) you get the option to exclude the site name or reverse it so the the page title is first. You also get to add meta tags for categories and sections etc, can't recommend it enough it should be built into the core.
