MOSS 2007 team site page title

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to display the page title (html title) on the default.aspx page of a custom site template. The template is based on a MOSS team site template.

But the html page title is rendered empty. Can I change the code in the default.aspx and/or the sites master page to define the title myself? Details of the deafult.aspx and default.master page as below: Thanks.

Default.aspx:

 <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
        <SharePoint:EncodedLiteral runat="server" text="<%$Resources:wss,multipages_homelink_text%>" EncodeMethod="HtmlEncode"/> 
        - <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server"/>
    </asp:Content>

default.master

<Title ID=onetidTitle><asp:ContentPlaceHolder id=PlaceHolderPageTitle runat="server"/></Title>

Answer 1

If you have Sharepoint Designer, then its matter of fiew clicks to modify page title.

Answer 2

I'm not sure a understand your problem, but have you tried to enter your title like this in your .aspx file:

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
This is my title</asp:Content>

Or am I missing something obvious here? Do you want to do it in code?

You maybe also have stumbled upon this bug. (although it's Ajax specific)

2 additional things: Have you checked-in, published and approved the master page? Have you checked in the .aspx page?

Answer 3

I checked the Master page the site was inheriting which was the site template master page. I change the title tag to display the site title using the Sharepoint ProjectProperty tag and property title.

<Title ID=onetidTitle> <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id=TSM_PlaceHolderPageTitle runat="server">Parent Site Title- <SharePoint:ProjectProperty Property="Title" runat="server"/></asp:ContentPlaceHolder></Title>
