Adding A Title To Home Page

Using Jamroom

For instance
I have a blog post titled
"Question Concerning Methane Gas Liquefaction At Formation Temperatures and Pressures "
which is a doozie if you want it as a browser tab... my preference using the custom module was to change the name to " Properties Of Methane" for better SEO and other reasons... BUT if I add

<title>Properties of Methane</title>

using the custom module all the favicon stuff is repeated twice in the source code...

Adding A Title To Home Page

Using Jamroom

Yes- I have been struggling with it for a week
Its the result of a custom module I had a friend make for me that allows me to add code to the header of item detail pages which has been resulting in some great traffic to my site over the last 2 weeks...
It only repeats the favicon stuff when I add

<title> My Page Title</title>

using the custom module. So my work a round was to use the module to add the title tags to EVERY page of the site and delete the code

<title>{$page_title|default:"`$default_title`"|capitalize} | {$_conf.jrCore_system_name}</title>

from the meta.tpl
This way I was able to add a custom title to EVERY page of the site INCLUDING item detail pages...so AFTER I did this to EVERY page of the website I discovered after a few hours when I got to the last page to add the title tag to which was www.myhomepage.com It didnt work...worked on EVERY page except that one....which is why I started this post....now I am in the process of removing EVERY title tag I added using the module and reverting to adding the titles using the PAGE CONFIG>SETTINGS....but now I cannot change titles on item detail pages beyond what the default is...

follow all that? You can see the results the module is responsible for

The reason it was removed is because if I add a title tag to an item detail page like this

<title>IRON ROUGHNECK IMPACT GLOVES</title>

it is automatically changed to this

<title>IRON ROUGHNECK IMPACT GLOVES</title>

Then if you look at the source code for the page you have all that code repeated twice like this

Adding A Title To Home Page

Yeah ..um..thats not working...for instance in the SITE BUILDER -> PAGE CONFIG -> PAGE SETTINGS -> PAGE TITLE it says "MY SITE NAME"....but nowhere in the source code for that page is there

<title> MY SITE NAME </title>

The ONLY way to get MY SITE NAME into the title tag of the source code is to add it to the meta template which of course changes every page title on the site to MY SITE NAME...
So for instance If my site is called WATERMELONS but I want to make a page called "HOW TO GROW CUCUMBERS"- the page is still going to be called and show up in the browser tab as WATERMELONS-making search engines think the topic of every page of the site is WATERMELONS..

I know its probably a silly question but does profile #98 have nay blogs written yet? I used the code you posted and just changed the profile id # to 1 and it displays fine on my site
Makes me think that blog module is not active or no blogs written-usually something simple like that...

Thanks Michael- where would I put this if "I WANTED IT TO ONLY ADD A TITLE TO THE HOME PAGE"
Seems like if I add it to Meta/header or Footer templates it will change every page of the website to that title (which gets me right back to where I am now)...if I add it as "TEMPLATE CODE" on the page in SITE BUILDER- it breaks the site ( turns it white)

Yes I actually generated the code using site builder- then copied it in case she was not using the site builder...works both ways
