Dynamic title for nested pages?

[yabdab]

What is the best way to include parent(s) title in the {{ $title }} of the pages?

Currently only the current page title is shown.

For example /site.com/blog/i-am-the-slug ...

... should have a title of "Blog - I am the Slug"

Hey @yabdab,

In your template you should be able to do something like this:

<h3>
  {{ parent:title }} - {{ title }}
</h3>

Or you could try to edit your Blueprint to parse Antlers for the title field. Not 100% this works. Could break stuff.

Then you can use Antlers in the content of your entry. Your entry's title in this case. More on that in our docs here.

Hope that helps :)

I am using Blade, so not sure that will work?

I tried and $parent is not available in layout.

Also using SEO Pro, which adds a title, but fails to add parent path.

Thanks for giving it a try, @yabdab!
Wasn't aware that you were using Blade 🔪 instead on Antlers 🦌.

I think you should be able to either use the $page variable that get's passed into the view or maybe even the Blade directive for using Statamic Tags.
Using the $page variable it would look something like this:

{{ $page->parent->get('title') }}

Just tried it locally and it works 👍

You might also be able to use a Blade directive for this (not 100% sure this works):

{{ Statamic::tag('parent') }}

More on the $page variable in Blade and using using Statamic's Tags in Blade in our docs. Having a look a how to retrieve and manipulate data is also a good idea. Especially when using Blade.
