Having trouble setting title

[Jedi~]

Ok, I have a function, and I'd like to set the title for that function (like the other main functions do), I globalize $yyboardname and $yytitle and I set yytitle to yyboardname, then call template_header() right after that, but it still shows the URL as the title rather than the boardname. What am I doing wrong?

Code Select Expand

function index() {
   global $db_prefix, $txt, $pptxt, $logo, $pphome, $yytitle, $yyboardname;

   $yytitle = "$yyboardname";
      
   template_header();
   
   echo("$pptext[18] <BR>");
   include("$pphome/index.php?action=news;board=4");
   
   footer();
   obExit();
   }

In settings.php it has $mbname set to ur boardname so just include settings.php and use $mbname

That's not exactly the point though, it doesn't set the title no matter what, I have tried this with no success.

There is no need to globalise those functions.
I just used:
   $yytitle = "$asmtxt[21]";
for my title in the smilies mod, and it set it to $asmtxt[21] in english.lng.

My point is that it DOESNT. Whether it's globalized or not, it keeps the URL as the title, not what I have it set to.

lol. Then print <title></title> and the var in between!
Still, I don't know why what your saying wont work..

[Jedi~]

Not to be rude, but it's not that hard.
What I'm saying is that when I set yytitle to anything, it doesn't set the title of the page (in the browser window at the top) to what I have set it too. It simply shows the URL.

Why not use the function as a txt variable? It works that way, no need to use yyboardname, still I don't see why it wont work.

BTW, if its not that hard how come you dont know?

[Darkshady]

can you post the code around where $$yytitle is.

[Big P]

its a function in subs.php

Hmm.. I tried setting it hardcoded and it works, that's really wierd.

And yytitle is a variable not a function
