In our forum we see the topic name as the title of the topic's HTML page. Is there an ability to add the board name to these titles? This could look like " - " or " | ".

Still running YAF 2.31.9.

No, at the moment its not possible. Only by modifying the source. But its a good idea. Will be added to the next release.

How to modify the current source to get this? This should be a simple modification, I guess. I am even ready to write a static string to add to topic titles, not the board name. But if it's possible to add the board name, tell me how. TIA

You only need to set this bool to true

 addBoardName = true;

If I get you right, I need to modify the source code and then recompile the whole solution. I doubt it will be simple for me. I already dealt with that when I tried to enhance the simplex theme css files...

Well, if I can't get what I need by changing the files I deploy to the server, I will be waiting for the built-in implementation of this feature in the next release.

Just one suggestion. Implement a template to add a board name to the topic title. It should be something like "{0} - {1}" in which {0} is the topic title and {1} is the board name. You know what {0} and {1} mean in the context of .NET and its String.Format() function 🙂

Did you implement this feature in the v2.31.14 released recently?

Is this feature enabled automatically or there is no switch for that? Do we have an ability to specify a template for our board titles (something like "{0} - {1}")?

The features is always on. And no template, but I think it would be a good idea to make the separator changeable.

You use two '-'s :)

If you hard-coded the template "{page title} {separator} {board name}" and will allow to change the separator, this will work for us because currently we are using "{page title} | {board name}" for the main part of our website. However, I would recommend that you provided the ability to change the whole template for the general case. As a software developer, I see no problems with implementing this. This opens many possibilities like removing the board name at all from page title and the like - which will make ALL customers of the YAF forum engine happy.

Any chance to implement this in the next YAF 2.31.15 update?

Two dots? Yes, really, but this is hardly noticeable. I need the vertical line |, and just one - between the topic title and the board name.

Any chance to see this in YAF 2.31.15? If yes, then I will be waiting for this release, and upgrade our forum engine then.
