Use current site page title inside <title> tag

[alXDraghiciu]

Hi.

In the Agency Theme or other example themes, inside the Layout.liquid file, the title tag is generated with the following:

<title>{{ "PageTitle" | shape_new | shape_stringify }}</title>

This will always result in the same title.
The title of the current page is stored inside Model.ContentItem.DisplayText. However, that is not accessible inside Layout.liquid, only inside it's separate content item.

What would be the way, Liquid-wise, to display the current page in the site, next to the tenant name? Like Home | MySite, Contact | MySite. Adding code to Content.liquid also doesn't seem to do anything and manually changing every page type does work but seems tedious since we have multiple types of pages on the site.

Have you tried page_title filter ? https://docs.orchardcore.net/en/latest/docs/reference/modules/Liquid/#page_title

It renders the Site.SiteName not the page name.

The line you mention renders the title with the PageTitle shape, which in turn renders the title based on the "Page title format" under the admin -> Configuration -> General (if this is configured, otherwise will render a default title). This is Liquid and you can use the page_title filter indeed. E.g. this should produce what you're looking for:

{% page_title Site.SiteName, position: "after", separator: " | " %}

How are you nesting these items, specifically?

They are contained in the Stories page and have their own AutoRoute part. So they are rendered in Stories as Summary view and at their own URL as Detail view.

[Piedone]

What do you mean that they're contained? Are you utilizing List Part, or Content Picker Field?

[alXDraghiciu]

The Story is a content item, with an AutoRoutePart. Then inside the Stories Page there's a named BagPart containing Story items. It's not using ListPart since that caused some issues.

[Piedone]

Hmm, I'm wondering how that works at all, since items in Bag Part are accessible individually (i.e. I don't know why you can open a Story by an Autoroute path).

In any case, by default, Title Part (or specifically, ContentItem.DisplayText) contributes to the page title only when the content items is displayed in the Detail display type. Is this what you display the items with?

[alXDraghiciu]

I'm not sure either but to my understanding ListPart behaves in an async way and that caused some issues if you try to reference it in another page? I'm not sure. BagPart on the other hand is sync and worked fine. It also made the content page less cluttered.

Yes I think they are displayed in Detail view because the template has no suffix so it's just Content-StoryPage.liquid for example. That results in Detail view by default right?

[deanmarcussen]

You are probably not rendering Model.Header from the bag part item in the detail view.

I’m guessing you’re only rendering Model.Content

should work if you do that, dd when I wrote contained routing

[alXDraghiciu]

Ok so the implementation you guys provided works, I've seen the same template use in the Blog theme example and there it does render correctly ( Page - Site ).

For our site however, the same code seems to always render the site name. Maybe someone can help troubleshoot this.

So yes I think the header zone is disabled in our website so we don't render Model.Header in the pages. Could that be an issue?

[Piedone]

Yes.
