Page title missing
Here is a weird little problem:
I created a custom doctype. When I attempt to pass a macro through the page title field under properties --> metadata, it doesn't work. I have the tags prefix - pagetitle_orelse_name set in the global settings.

Here's the kicker: it works on my local development site, but not on the licensed site.

Is this an issue with the CMS settings, or a database bug or even an IIS 7 configuration problem?

Thanks,
Richard

RE:Page title missing
Hello,

Could you please check that you have chosen appropriate site within 'Site Manager -> Settings -> Dropdown_on_upper_left_hand_side -> Web site'?

It's possible that you have set it only as a global but you don't inherit that settings within your particular site.

Best regards

RE:Page title missing
{%prefix%} - {%pagetitle_orelse_name%}
This is set globally and for the specific site, it is inherited, with the web site name being passed through the prefix.
CMS version 4.0 build 4.0.3328

RE:Page title missing
Hello,

Do you use workflow for those documents? Could you please also try to restart the application in Site Manager ->Administration -> System?

RE:Page title missing
Workflow is not enabled. I restarted the application, but that did not fix the issue.
I'm still getting the [site name -- browser name] in the browser title bar and [site name --] in the tab title.

RE:Page title missing
Hello,

This is definitely strange. Could you please try to put some page title to: 'CMS Desk -> Content tab -> Document -> Properties tab -> Metadata -> Page title'? Does it render something viewing source code of the page?

Anyway if it doesn't help please send us credentials to log to your site to: support@kentico.com and we will try to investigate what might be wrong.

Best Regards

RE:Page title missing
Hello.

At first, I did not test a third-party page title web part mentioned above, so I cannot give a comment to it. But in general how it works... If you are using Portal engine, you don´t need to change anything in your Visual Studio, all settings are available in user interface, in Site Manager and CMSDesk.

When you go to Site Manager -> Settings -> (select web site from drop-down menu) -> Web site, you can see two properties – Page title format and page title prefix. By default, the Page title format is filled by this macro : {%prefix%} - {%pagetitle_orelse_name%} and in Page title prefix in name of the site. If you do not have specified these value on document level, the result is following. On every page, you will see title consists from site name + document name, e.g. Corporate site – Home.
If you change it on document level in CMSDesk -> select document -> Properties -> Metadata -> Page title and put here e.g. NewHome, then the result is Corporate Site – NewHome.

Of course, you can override it in aspx page in code-behind, but it is not necessary when using a Portal engine.
