Add site name to page title of each page
I am using Sitefinity 6.1 and want to simply add the sitename of my website to the page title of each page.
eg. <title>Page name - Sitename</title>
Is there a way to add this inside the master page? I am quite new to Sitefinity and have limited backend experience so any help would be brilliant.
Cheers,
Brian
Hi Brian,
I guess something like this in the page_load of the master page should work:
Page.Title = String.Concat(Page.Title, " - Sitename")Sorry Arno, could you explain a bit more about the page_load. Should I see this somewhere in my master template? Thanks so much.
Hi Brian,
I assume you have a master page in the Visual Studio project of your website. That's where the page load event can be accessed. You'd best ask a developer to do so.
Yes Arno I have my custom site set up using a master template inside visual studio but there is no reference on this page to page_load that I can add your code. Can you give the full synthax as to how to achieve this?
thanks,
Brian
Hi Brian,
You can try if this works for you (VB.NET syntax):
Protected Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load Page.Title = String.Concat(Page.Title, " - Sitename")End SubHi,
In my opinion the easiest solution is to drop a javascript widget in your masterpage (screenshot) and write something like this:
document.title = "My company"+document.title;Thanks Guys, thats an easy solution. Don't know how I didn't think of just using javascript. Thought there should be a an option to do something so simple inside the sitefinity control panel.
Thanks again
Hi,
well, the title field is an important piece of information for search engines, and a javascript-based solution will not be visible to the search engine crawlers i guess.
The "Page_Load" solution in the master file would be better in that respect.
In the top of your master page you could try something like this:
<script language="C#" runat="server"> void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) Page.Title += " - Site name"; </script>I added Sondre's solution to my master page's .cs file and it works! Didn't work in my master page file directly.
