Title Manager
With this plugin, you can display your site name in page titles. It’s able to display the site name before or after the content title and use a custom separator. You can specify a different name to use in title, if you want.
It's available in English, Turkish, Dutch and German. Please note that if you don't have some of these languages installed you will see some notices after installation. You can safely ignore them.
Instructions
First of all, go to plugin manager after installion and publish "System - Title Manager". There are a few parameters you can use.
You can use alternative site name parameter if you don't want to use the site name in Global Configuration.
For separator, you should use {s} instead of spaces in the beginning or ending of the string. This is to avoid trimming of these spaces.
Other parameters are self-explainatory.

Great plugin! But the separator doesn't support the character | which I really need in my title. It keeps adding a slash at the beginning like \| Any suggestions? Or will the plugin need to be updated? Thanks!
Dan, I don't think the character issue is in this plugin. I have been beating my head against the wall on a website with the same problem that until I saw your comment. It seems to be an issue with Joomla itself.
I'll try to take a look at the | issue. Even if it's a Joomla! issue that can be bypassed by using a temporary fix. I'll be back with some news in a few days.
I have installed this on a 1.5.3 site. Installation went flawless. Now I try to use it on a 1.5.5 site and I get the following errors": * JInstaller::install: The language file 'tr-TR.plg_system_titlemanager.ini' could not be installed because the Administrator language package for 'tr-TR' has not been installed or does not exist. * JInstaller::install: The language file 'de-DE.plg_system_titlemanager.ini' could not be installed because the Administrator language package for 'de-DE' has not been installed or does not exist. I don't know if this is due to the new Joomla version, though. Can I safely remove these files from the package and remove the reference in the xml file? regards, Kor

Oops, Ercan, yes, I read it. Thanks for your quick response! Kor
Does this plugin to work under 1.5.5 with sh404SEF 1.0.11_Beta_build_147? My tags come out just they way they did before I installed it. I enabled the plugin. Thanks, Graham
This is a great plugin, but doesn't appear to work with sh404SEF 1.0.11 as mentioned above. I am just confirming this as I have the same problem.
Perfect. Easy as activating the plugin - Thank you!
Hi there dudes. You (Martin, Graham) need to disable the META tag rewriter in sh404sef options. After this change, it'll work.
I downloaded the zip file, and when I click upload and install, it says: Warning! Failed to move file. Why is this?? Thanks guys.
Super easy installation and does the work as it should! I got three errormassages during the installation, all of them were about langugagepacks missing... I ignored them and everyting works anyway (so far).
I've installed the plug-in to my site and it's working. But when I save a page through a social bookmarking tool (e.g.delicious) the site name is not saved. Rather only the page name is saved. Is this a shortcoming of the plug-in?
Great tool !!! Thanx for the effort !!
thanx for this, really easy to use, any way to have option to show: site name | section/category | article title?
Perfection.
Works perfect. Easy to set up.
It's adding my site name to the end of each title tag but it's also adding it to the front of the tag. So now the tag appears as Websitename - title | Website name. Am I doing something wrong?
İlk önce botunu siteme yükledim j 1.5 için eksik olan bi özelliği gidermişsin tşkler. Bence bir çok türk arkadaş dosyanı indirmesine rağmen hiç bir yorum yazmamış olmaları canımı sıktı, sitenin ing olmasından ötürü yazmadılarsa dahada bi sıkıldım diye bilirim. İletişime baksalardı konyalı bin cengaver olduğunu hemen görebilirlerdi :) Botumu siteme yükledim güzelde oldu. Eğer yeni çalışmların varsa seve seve kullanırım sitemde. Saygılarımlaa. www.askara.org
Hata veriyor kurarken?
Hi Erkan Thank you very much for this plugin. Installed on Joomla 1.5.6 and works perfect. Even the "|" sign is no problem. Excact what I was looking for.
It, like the other plugin out now, didnt work for me and it came down to the sh404SEF. I simply went to config > meta/seo tab and put the name needed in the "Insert before page title" area (or after). The plugin is still cool for anyone with other SEF components or none.
Hi, The site name is appearing twice before the page title! So, for example, on my portfolio page I have: Site Name - Site Name - Portfolio And on the home page, I have: Site Name - Site Name I'm also using sh404SEF, but I've turned off the Meta/SEO thing as was previously suggested. Thanks!! Dave.
Hello, I was able to install Title Manager OK and have used it successfully on other sites. t is great! However, on my latest 1.5 site it installs OK, but after I enable it, I get Warning: JLoader::include() [function.include]: Failed opening '/home/ramsay/public_html/libraries/joomla/plugin/plugin.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/ramsay/public_html/libraries/loader.php on line 83 at the top of front end page. Any ideas?
Is the developer even checking the comments? Doesn't appear so. The plugin does not work and there is absolutely NO SUPPORT for it. Disappointing.
Hi Jake, The developer indeed checks comments from time to time. But it's not developer's responsibility if sh404SEF breaks this plugin's functionality when he's not using that component or if the issue is completely unrelated to this component. And as a lot of people (including myself) are using this plugin, there is no need to state that the plugin does not work. Sorry if this plugin didn't suit your needs, hope you will find what you are looking for. Regards, Ercan

It works like a magic!!! !!!EXCELLENT!!!
Works perfekt for me in Joomla 1.5.7 with Joomlatwork SEO-Patch. Thanks a lot for this great Plugin!
I get this error when I try to install it on my 1.5.7 Joomla! * It was not possible to copy the selected file. * JInstaller::install: Failed to copy file: /home/deathofe/public_html/tmp/install_4902d6c9784ad/titlemanager.php to /home/deathofe/public_html/plugins/system/titlemanager.php What does this message mean PLZ help me FAST
i also has the same problem with Karanvir, please Help
@Karanvir and arried It's not a problem related to this extension. Something is wrong with your server environment or Joomla! settings.
It really works like a charm : simple, easy to configure. Good Job.
Great magic plugin! Excellent!
My site name has the ampersand character in it. In IE it is showing as "&" instead of "&".
Agh, in my previous comment, the first ampersand should be & amp; (added a space here so it's not treated as entity)
Hi Does this work with the SEO Patch by Joomlatwork for Joomla 1.5.6? I am getting my SITENAME - TITLE - SITENAME appearing. All I want is TITLE SITENAME :-( Thx
Very nice! It really works like a charm, simple, easy to configure.
Muito boa extensão. Salvou meu site!
Nice work! One feature is missing yet, static site name without page title. but it's easy to modify in php file.
great plugin.. thanx
Great extention but it doesn't work with any Search Engine extentions like joomsef or 404
Great extensions! Mature plugin for my mature site! Thanksss
There's a problem when I use the plugin. The site is in two language for that We're using Joom!fish. The problem is: Title displays in this way: [SiteName][Title][SiteName] or [SiteName][SiteName][Title] Settings: joomla 1.5.7 Joom!fish 2.0 - RC
Hey, thank you! I've been searching and testing i think 6 different plugins for the page title purpose, but this was simply the BEST. Period. Im just wondering why you don't post it on the official extension directory? So that more people could get as happy as i am right now!
@Alpe, I'm sorry I don't use Joomfish. So I don't have much idea about the cause of this issue. @Bigge, Thanks for your words. It's already there: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/option,com_mtree/task,viewlink/link_id,3521/Itemid,35/ ;)
GREAT plugin!!! COngratulations! Good work! PARABENS!!!!!!!!!!!
This plugin works awesome! Why couldn't Joomla have made life simplier and included this with the Joomla install?
Hello, thanks for this extension, it works very good also with joomfish, I tried and there is no problem. Maybe if you have a problem try to change it in the joomfish language configuration, there you can change the title... Another question Ercan, could you please tell me which commenting system you use, it looks very simple and beautful. I would be grateful if you could tell me, thanks a lot! Kind Regards Michael
Hello Michael, I'm using Comments component from jxtended.com. It's a commercial component but available in GPL license.
great plugin, exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!
Thank you very much ercan, thanks a lot!
Çok kullanışlı bir eklenti.Hemen sitemde kullanmaya başladım.Herhangi bir sorun çıkmadı(Joomla 1.5.8 sürümü kullanıyorum).Ercan kardeşime çok teşekkür ediyorum.Daha fazla joomla eklentisi programlamasını bekliyorum.
Great work Ercan
Thanx. I used it in several sites. Now SEO will work better.
Thanks Ercan, you plugin is great!
Thanks you are the best. Simple and perfect
This is great plug-in. I downloaded and installed on my website. İts working perfectly. Thanks again. I was thinking how can i handle this title issue. you helped me.
Hi Ercan,,, Thank a lot for your Plug-in program. It's make my site is more Search Engine Friendly. This plug-in is the best for increase our site rank on Search engine.
I have a problem displaying the instructions properly; it just says TM_DESCRIPTION, TM_ALTERNATIVE and so on. I had to install this plugin manually since the server we're using has some crazy permissions problems. I added an entry in the database and uploaded the two main files to plugins/system. I then uploaded the en-GB language file to language/en-GB. But it's not displaying the language text, only the placeholders. Do I need to do something to get those displaying?
Nice tool, I add your extensions as a good appeal in my blog.
Excellent! I just installed it on 1.5.8 and it works like a no brainer! Can I send you a donation? Thank you!!!
Thanks for updating your site with the "donate" button Ercan! As a web designer (not really a programmer) I am happy to support the generous work of people like you! Perhaps our world can learn from the "open source" way. I hope others will follow my lead - you deserve to be compensated for your time and generosity.
I fixed my previous problem (the language file needed to go in the administrator/language/en-GB folder). But now I've noticed a problem. On wrapper pages, the plugin takes the page title from the main "Title" part of my menu, not the "Page title" attribute in Paramters-System Please allow me to use a different page title from my menu link!
@Harmony, Thank you sooo much for your generosity and supporting open source development. :) @Scott, I couldn't understand what you mean. Can you explain it one more time please? Thanks.
Great!
Hi, Thanks for this great plug-in. To be perfect, the title tag should be the first metatag in the area of the site. Can this be done?
Yaptığınız çalışmalar için sizi tebrik ederim fakat site tamamiyle ingilizce acaba sitenizi birde türkçe arayüz ile yayınlamanız mümkünmü bir çok arkadaş benim gibi bu konuda müzdarip olabilir. İyi çalışmalar.
I love you. This plugin sure beats making custom changes in the core. 5 stars.
How do you install this plugin ? I can't find any instructions and what ver of Joomla is it for ? I'm using the older ver 1.0.15, will it work? Thanks for any help you can provide !
Great plugin! Easy install, up and running in less than 5 minutes. Brilliant!
Nice plugin.
Kardeş allah razı olsun. :))
It's not working for me on 1.5.9 with sh404SEF installed. I've used it on all my sites over the past year and have never had any problems before. Is this a known issue?
I don't use sh404SEF Chris. So I can't say much. But check other comments. Some people found solutions for that problem.
Hi Ercan, Oops - I should have read through the comments before posting. Disabling the meta tag part of sh404SEF as suggested by another commenter did the trick. Thanks for a great plugin!
Kick ass, just what i need! Thanks!
Perfect - runs within minutes at our website http://www.bma-magazin.de and does exactely what is promised! Thanks a lot!!!
I had this plugin installed and running in less than 2 minutes. It works great, thanks a bunch!!
Great Plugin, thanks for aharing! Everything worked without any hassle, does exactly what it should do!
Perfect plugin!
Awsome plugin! For all those having trouble with sh404SEF "Disabling the meta tag part of sh404SEF as suggested by another commenter did the trick. Thanks for a great plugin!" This works, In sh404SEF got to system configuration, then click top tab meta/seo and disable the first option. Thanks
Installed and worked in 5 minutes! Excellent.
Although this is a great plugin, if you are using sh4040SEF it is not required as it can achieve the same results.
Çok süper eklenti sağol tşk bye

o/\o awsm plugin Ercan. Big ups from Chicago.
Hoj Ercan, great work, I love your Plugin
Awesome plugin and super easy to use. Works with SEFAdvanced flawlessly.
Personally I do not think they are that bad. Find the files you are looking for at search-ebook.com the most comprehensive source for free-to-try files downloads on the Web
This works perfectly - this is exactly what I was looking for! This should be part of base Joomla - great job!
Ercan, I getthis error when I upload you plugin: Warning: Unterminated comment starting line 75 in xxx/libraries/domit/xml_domit_utilities.php on line 75 Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting T_FUNCTION in xxxx/libraries/domit/xml_domit_utilities.php on line 75 any suggest? Thank you very much in advance Luis
Great plugin for SEO. Keep it up. So far I'm not installed yet but this plugin I looking for..
Great Job - thx 4 da tool! :-)
It switches joomla to show "Page Title | Site Name" HOWEVER...now my site shows Site Name before AND after the page title!!!! When I erase my global site name, it still leaves a (-) before the information in the browser title.
This doesn't really manage page titles, unless I'm missing something. It manages to put the SITE name of your choice preceding or following your existing page titles. I hope I'm wrong and get flamed for being a dunce, but I don't see how to manage my page titles. SITE name addition, yes, page title management, not really. Please tell me I'm wrong.
@Luis, sorry for the late response. I did not see this comment. I don't have any idea but it shouldn't be related to my plugin. @DanFromOhio, it's exactly what this plugin does. What is your managing needs? We might find you another extension or maybe add features to this one.
saolasın siteme ekledim umarim iyi sonuçlar elde ederim.tesekkurler thanks man ,i add this plug in to my website and i hope iwill do the job ,thanks again
