Removing the Subtitle part from the Browser's Titlebar

[Shankar]

Hello,

Is there a way of customizing so that the browser titlebar shows only
the title of the TiddlyWiki and does NOT show the Subtitle?

Thanks!

Cheers; 'Best,

shankar

getPageTitle() is a core function that normally returns "SiteTitle -
SiteSubtitle"... to redefine this function, simply place the following
line of code in any tiddler tagged with systemConfig:

function getPageTitle() { return wikifyPlain("SiteTitle"); }

or, perhaps even nicer:

function getPageTitle() { return wikifyPlain("PageTitle"); }

That way, the PageTitle can be completely different from the SiteTitle
and SiteSubTitle (which can still be displayed as usual in the TW
header area).

I've added this to
http://www.TiddlyTools.com/#CoreTweaks

If [[PageTitle]] is defined, it will be used as the browser window
titlebar text. Otherwise, the regular [[SiteTitle]] plus
[[SiteSubtitle]] is used as a fallback.

I'm not sure, if I got you right, but if I'm correct you could just
empty the SiteSubtitle (shadow tiddler) and you're done...
(delete doesn't help as the tiddler will be rebuild with the default
content).

I believe Eric even starts to invoke the
TiddlyWikiPluginGeneratorTweaker if the phone is ringing ;)

Eric's solution gets rid of the "-" following the SiteTitle, since

        My Site Title -

does not look that nice.

If you don't care for this "beautification" just defining an empty SiteSubtitle tiddler (as suggested by schilke) is sufficient.

oh, that's true indeed - I already was wondering if there was a hidden
advantage to use a hack ;)

Personally I find myself hacking PageTemplate before it comes to this,
but Eric's PageTitle tweak is a nice one and I vote for it to go into
the core.

umm, yep, also true - on the other hand - see next post...

...yes - that's what I thought (and would have done, too)

Eric's tweaks are always nice - but before committing please consider
expanding the tweak a bit - how about using the tiddler title as
SiteSubtitle if permalinks/#anchors are invoked?
(that's not an easy one, I bet, you might feel defiant... - hmm, IIRC
that's not the first time that it comes up...)
