Description: Adds the news title and/or category between your <title> tags
Instructions: This hack will add the news title and/or category that is currently viewed to the page title (<title></title>).
Add this code to your file that includes cutenews. Put this between the <head></head> tags. Change the $path = 'cutenews/data'; to match your cutenews folder. And change the <title>default title</title> to what you want the title to be when it's not the news title.
if (is_array($category)) $category = ' - '.implode(' - ', $category);
This line is for multiple categories. By default it seperates the categories with a -, ie "title - category1 - category2 - category3".
You can freely change both - to suit your needs, just keep the ' '. The same goes with the line below, only this is for a single category.else $cat = ' - '.$title_values[1];
$title_values = title_values($_GET['id'], TRUE); // Change TRUE to FALSE if you dont use a category
Like it says, if you don't want category in your title, change TRUE to FALSE. This only saves the script some extra work.<?PHP function title_values($id, $use_category) { $path = './cutenews/data';//CHANGE PATH TO THE CUTENEWS DATA DIRECTORY HERE if ($use_category) { $cat_lines = file($path.'/category.db.php'); foreach ($cat_lines as $cat_line) { $cat_array = explode('|', $cat_line); $my_cats[$cat_array[0]] = $cat_array[1]; } } $news_lines = file($path.'/news.txt'); foreach ($news_lines as $news_line) { $news_array = explode("|", $news_line); if ($news_array[0] == $id) { $title = strip_tags($news_array[2]); if ($use_category and !empty($news_array[6])) { if (strstr($news_array[6], ',')) { $cat_array = explode(',', $news_array[6]); foreach ($cat_array as $category) $category_arr[] = $my_cats[$category]; } else $category_arr = $my_cats[$news_array[6]]; } } } return array ($title, $category_arr); } if (isset($_GET['id'])) { $title_values = title_values($_GET['id'], true);//change true to false if the category doesn't need to be in the titlebar. $title = $title_values[0]; if (is_array($title_values[1])) $cat = ' - '.implode(' - ', $title_values[1]); else $cat = ' - '.$title_values[1]; echo '<title>'.$title.''.$cat.'</title>'; } else echo '<title>Default Title</title>'; ?>
