Hello,

One fix/need is to dynamically match the html page title tag to the blog title when drilled down to the individual blog entry level.

The search engines don't seem to care as much for same named/titled pages.  This should be fairly easy no?

Hope I wrote this so that it makes sense...?

Best,
John

John,

have a look to the module option (accessible from the context menu of the control "most recent entries", there you will find a setting called "Show unique title, take care that this check box is checked.

The you will have the blog entry title as the page title.

HP

HP,

This is great - Thank You - This is helpful.  Would you consider taking it a step further by providing the option of either not displaying the page title which currently precede's the entry title or allowing the blog owner/site admin to switch the order displaying the blog entry title first, then the page title?

This would be very helpful and could be critical as the search engines evolve and see redundant language more as search spam than anything else - especially in blogs.

I hope that I'm not asking for too much here but I personally would value greatly the option to either just display the entry title alone or switch the display order.

John

PS.  Does anyone else have feedback on this topic?

No problem, it's on me to say no, or as I do it here, give you the direction how you can modifiy this for your personal use.

Open the file ViewEntry.ascx.vb in visual studio.

Search the following text:

                        If showUniqueTitle Then
                            Try             ' 4.0.1 Bug
                                Me.BasePage.Title = Me.BasePage.Title & " - " & m_oEntry.Title
                            Catch
                            End Try
                        End If
and replace the line:

 Me.BasePage.Title = Me.BasePage.Title & " - " & m_oEntry.Title

with

Me.BasePage.Title = m_oEntry.Title

recompile the module and copy the bin file dotnetnuke.modules.blog.dll to the bin folder of your dotntenuke installation.

regards

HP

Thanks HP.  I'll definately do this.

Please consider adding this as an option though in the future as it will enhance it's value - especially when it comes to the engines.

Best,
John
