I will suggested in 4.4

I'm sorry...don't quite understand. Can you clarify? I didn't see anything in general settings.

FYI in version 4.4.2 the variable $tmp is replaced by the variable $title_items so you have to switch out the variable in the code to make it work in 4.4.2.

Could you get it working for 4.3.2. I have tried the changes but no difference.

Here is an update on how to do this for v 4.5.x

There are 2 different methods. One for just making the :: to a dash (basic) and the other is having a dash between products & categories and pipe before site name (complex).

Before doing either make sure to backup your files that are being changed and to set your Page title format in the SEO settings (Main page :: General settings :: SEO) to Product name :: Category name :: Shop name.

Basic change of :: characters to dash (-):

1. Open up the file include/templater/plugins/function.get_title.php
2. Go to line 152 (or around that area).
3. On this line you will find $title = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), array('', ''), trim(implode(' :: ', $title_items))); at the end of the line of code change the :: out for the dash - character or whatever you want.
4. Save and re-upload to server.
5. Now this will make your title tags look like this Product Name - Category - Site Name

Complex change of :: characters to dash for products and pipe for site name:

1. Open up the file include/templater/plugins/function.get_title.php
2. Go to line 152 (or around that area).
3. Remove the following line:
   $title = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), array('', ''), trim(implode(' :: ', $title_items)));
4. Replace that line with the following code.
   
   PHP Code:

   #######################################
# Title Tag Hack By RocketRideSEO.com #
#######################################
$title = '';
$titlePartCount = count($title_items);
$icount = 1;
foreach($title_items as $titlePart)
{
 if($icount!=1) { $title .= ($icount!=$titlePartCount) ? ' - ' : ' | '; }
 $title .= $titlePart;
 $icount++;
}
$title = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), array("", ""), trim($title)); 

5. Save and re-upload to server.

That should do it! If you have any questions let me know.

Balinor,

My home.tpl doesn't have any code that looks like
"$title = str_replace(array("\n", "\r"), array("", ""), trim(implode(' :: ', $tmp)));

Has anyone done this on v4.1.9?
