I just want to share something I recently used in one of my projects...

function onEnd() {

    // get the post component
    $_post = $this->components['post'];
    $_post = $_post->post; // post is the alias of my component

    // get the title
    $_title = $_post->title;

    // update the page title
    $this->page->title = $_title;

}

Note: the component instance on the particular page i used this script is named post - see comments in the code

Cheers

Martin,

Just wanted to say thanks for this snippet. I'm new to October and still fumbling my way around the internals. I followed one of the video tutorials for setting up the RainLab blog plugin and the only change I had to make was change:

 $_post = $this->components['post']; 

to

 $_post= $this->components['blogPost']; 

Simply because the component alias was different. But that did exactly what I needed -- change the page title to the blog post title.

Which file should be modified?

This should go in your pages code section...

Ok I found the php editor had given

If you use Builder then to set page title as post title you should do this:

function onEnd()
{
   $this->page->title = $this->components['builderDetails']->record->attributes["name"];
}

If it's not working then echo dump($this->components['builderDetails']) and see where is your post title.

which file must be modified?

you should write like this in post page :

title = "post" 
url = "/blog/post/:slug"
layout = "default"
is_hidden = 0
[blogPost]
slug = "{{ :slug }}"
==

function onEnd () {
    $post = $this->components['blogPost'];
    $post = $postTitle->post;

    if( $post ) {
        $post = $post->title;
        $this->page->title = $postName.' | yourSite';
    }
}

Thanks @MrCoderZ

I slightly modified the code for both the post and blog page title as follows:

Post page title:

title = "Post"
url = "/post/:slug"
layout = "yourLayout"
is_hidden = 0

[blogPost]
slug = "{{ :slug }}"
categoryPage = "blog"

==
<?php
function onEnd () {
    $post = $this->components['blogPost'];
    $post = $post->post;

    if( $post ) {
        $post = $post->title;
        $this->page->title = $post.' | yourSite';
    }
}
?>
==

Blog page title:

title = "yourSite"
url = "/blog/:category/:page?"
layout = "yourLayout"
is_hidden = 0

[blogPosts]
pageNumber = "{{ :page }}"
categoryFilter = "{{ :category }}"
postsPerPage = 5
noPostsMessage = "No posts found"
sortOrder = "published_at desc"
categoryPage = "blog"
postPage = "post"

==
<?php
function onEnd () {
    $myblog = $this->components['blogPosts'];
    $myblog = $myblog->category;

    if( $myblog ) {
        $myblog = $myblog->name;
        $this->page->title = $myblog.' | yourSite';
    }
}
?>

$this->record->name;

it also works.

Thank you, exactly what I was looking for.
