Name of parent category and current category was created by Codrut
Hello,

I have two main categories, Type and Keeper, both with subcategories:
Type
-SubCatType1
-SubCatType2
-...

Keeper
-SubCatKeeper1
-SubCatKeeper2
-...

What do I want to achieve is to have the Page Title in Category (Items list) view like:
Type: SubCatType2 (aka ParentCat: CurrentCat)

Can this be done?
Thank you!

You can use the following code to set html document title to be all category ancestors

You can use it in both FLEXIcontent category and FLEXIcontent item view (place inside the template files (e.g. inside template files: category_category.php or item.php for category and item views respectively):
Code:
global $globalcats; $cid = JRequest::getInt('cid'); if ($cid) { foreach ($globalcats[$cid]->ancestorsarray as $ancestor_catid) { $ancestor_title_arr[] = $globalcats[$ancestor_catid]->title; } $page_title = implode(" :: ", $ancestor_title_arr); //$page_title .= $this->item->title; $jdoc = & JFactory::getDocument(); $jdoc->setTitle($page_title); }

Of course if current view is an item view you can also add item title by uncommenting the line:
//$page_title .= $this->item->title;

What i suggest above will set the title of html document, the same text you can use in category_category.php of your template to replace the printed title of your page

Greetings,

I think it was my fault, I didn't mean "page title" but the category title. Nevermind, using your suggestion I changed
Code:
<?php echo $this->escape($page_title); ?>
instead of
Code:
<?php echo $this->escape($this->category->title); ?>

Thank you for your support!
