Hi,
Is there a way to add the categoy name before or after the article title in the meta <title></title> of the document ?
By default the document titlte is <title>Article title</title> and I would like to have <title>Categoy of the article | Article title</title>
Thank you

Hello.
The way to add the category name to the Joomla article title would be by creating an override, and manipulating the existing meta tags to replace it with a new one. It requires programming knowledge.

Perhaps in the Joomla extensions directory there is a plugin that allows you to add custom meta tags.

In both cases I think they would have an additional cost with respect to performance.

Ok thank you.
Can you tell me what file generates the meta tags ?

Or you could add a Custom title to each article from the Options tab in the Browser Page Title field, where you would add the category name and the article title, in any order you like.

If you want to add the category to the Joomla article title automatically, consider creating or duplicating our override either ublog.php or portfolio.php which is located in templates/ut_sombra/html/com_content/article
just before the first php close ?> add the following php code:

Code:

$document = Factory::getDocument();
$cateTitle = $this->item->category_title;
$artTitle = $this->item->title;
$document->setTitle($cateTitle.' | '.$artTitle);

Enjoy, regards

Yes, add these variable

Code:

$parentTitle = $this->item->parent_title;

Then you can concatenate

Code:

$document->setTitle($parentTitle.' | '.$cateTitle.' | '.$artTitle);
