Customizing Joomla Dynamic Page Title

In this article i am going to explain the easy way to customizing your dynamic page title. For SEO purpose there is a common requirement to customize the every page titles and meta descriptions must be unique.You can be placed below codes anywhere in your current template’s index.php, although most people tend to insert it near the top of the page or within the tags.

To get the current page title:

<?php

$title = $this->getTitle();

?>

<?php

$title = $this->getTitle();

For append the site name in the regular page title, you can use below codes for setTitle to set a new page title:

<?php

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$this->setTitle( $title . ' - ' . $app->getCfg( 'sitename' ) );

?>

<?php

$app = JFactory::getApplication();

$this->setTitle( $title . ' - ' . $app->getCfg( 'sitename' ) );

Combining these two pieces of code together:

<?php

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$this->setTitle( $this->getTitle() . ' - ' . $app->getCfg( 'sitename' ) );

?>

<?php

$app = JFactory::getApplication();

$this->setTitle( $this->getTitle() . ' - ' . $app->getCfg( 'sitename' ) );

Below is a complete examples of what a template would look like after embedded this code:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$this->setTitle( $this->getTitle() . ' - ' . $app->getCfg( 'sitename' ) );
?>
<jdoc:include type="head" />
 
.... rest of template file.

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"

"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<head>

<?php

$app = JFactory::getApplication();

$this->setTitle( $this->getTitle() . ' - ' . $app->getCfg( 'sitename' ) );

<jdoc:include type="head" />
