New for V2, Add more than one custom title and it will be randomly chosen and display!

With this mod you can add some custom text to your global forums title (Appears in the top of your browser window) Great for advertising things which are going on within your forum.

This setting can be found under Settings -> glCreations -> Custom Global Page Title

Note! If you are upgrading from V1 please uninstall this hook first, install the new one, and then recache all skin sets!

Pure genius tbh, i've been having some fun with this already and my members are like "WTF!!!" (w00t) thanks m8, nice one :D

will this work with version 3.0.5 for IPB or is it just for 3.1.1?

Will work will all IPB V3x versions :)

ok, thank you!

This is a great mod :D

Do you think, in some eventual future version, you could add the option to add multiple custom titles? Then, when the page is loaded, it randomly picks one to display? One of my favorite websites does this, and I'd love to be implement it on my site as well.

Great work though!

Great idea! However ill have to learn a bit more PHP to do this :)

EDIT : Been doing some research and I might be able to do this!!! Give me a few days :D

There is one option like this in stock IP.Board? No? I am little confused.. o0

Im pretty sure that the option your refering to Alex put its in the breadcumbs and all other named placed. This JUST puts it in the title :)

Just to confirm Ive checked, the option is Website Name, this custom text only appears after this in the title of your browser only. If it were everywhere else it would look rather horrid in my opinion!

Ip.Board 3.1 has a setting so you can set the title of the board index only. This does not apply to other pages.

Board Index Page Title

Specify the title to use for the board index. If left blank, the "Board Name" setting will be used

Well its clear that no ones know about it if they've all posted in here - besides, this is going to be the basis of a walkthrough for making a hook with a setting, which will be uploaded shortly, and it gives the functionality to 3.0.x users.

Non the less, Ill have the rotating version ready tomorrow /sunday - This was only really a test excersice to get used to the hook system :)

Thank you so much! :)

Thank you so much! :)

No worries, thanks for you for the great idea!

Im going to make it so that its a text area, (as opposed to input field in V1) and you put each custom title you want on a seperate line.

Thank you so much! :)

V2 with random capabilities is now live :)

How do I go about changing the default IPB pip that is next to the index title? More interested in substituting my own image in there.

thats just a case of changing the favicon.ico which is located in the root of your IPB installtion :thumbsup:

You're my new hero :D Thank you!

One more feature request: maybe make it so that the user can select which forums this works in, or in which applications? I love this, but I don't necessarily want it displaying on every page on my site, y'know?
