Overriding <title> html tag
Dave Hansen
doesn't like how it shows up in Google since its title is "Album: www".
I wrote him a little plugin which seems to work, although in a very
hackish way.
I just stick and extra <title> tag in the HTML before the regular
album-generated one, which I'm sure isn't exactly standards compliant.
The browser seems to only show the first one that it encounters.
Any thoughts on a more elegant way to do this? What about just adding a
hook to header() that does:
my $title = $tAlbum $this;
$title = do_hooks($opt, $data, 'html_title', $dir, $album);
print ALBUM <<END_OF_HEADER;
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC '-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN'
'http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd'>
<html xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
<head>
<title>
$title
</title>
...

sub start_plugin {

};

sub add_title {
my $opt = shift;
my $data = shift;
my $hook_name = shift;
my $pic = shift;
return undef if ($pic ne '/home/mike/www');
my $js =<<END;
<title>Mike Hansen's photo album</title>
END
print STDERR $data->{head};
$data->{head} .= $js;
return undef;

title hardcoded to be "Album:" and the path.
I can update all of the simmer_theme Themes pretty easily
to use some possibly hook specified title if people thought
that would be a good idea.
Also - the hook should probably be given at least:
1) The translation of "Album:"
2) The path to the current album (possibly caption'ed)
Is there anything else that the plugin might need
to know to create a good album name?
