Dynamic site title in footer!

pickadoll

I want the footer link title to change depending on which site the theme is used on...
I've looked into the documentation, etc, but i just can't figure it out.
I guess the answer is pretty simple so i hope someone can tell me.
I know i can put {logo} there but i only want the title.

        <a href="{link path="/"}">WHAT DO I PUT HERE? :D</a>

You mean on which page of the forum or some other website that uses the theme ?

pickadoll

No. Just the title of the website, ex. "Super Forums". Instead of displaying the logo. :-)

What is the theme you are using?

In the foot area just add {home_link} in the tpl where you want it to appear...

or

<a href="{link path="/"}"><span>SuperForums</span></a>

pickadoll

Oh, but that just displays "Home", i want it to be the name of the forum on each site.
I guess I'm looking for some sort of short code that can give me the site title, like {logo} that gives me the url to the logo.
I'm using a custom theme based on the default theme.
Is it not as simple as i thought it would? :-)

Hi @pickadoll,

Did you try:
<a href="<?php echo Url('/'); ?>"><?php echo Gdn_Theme::Logo(); ?></a>

Nice greetz, phreak

As far as I know, you can't add php into the tpl but go ahead and try, worst thing that can happen is a 500 error ...

Ah, sorry. I use that in the default.master.php in my theme. But there it works.

I guess what you are looking for is {$Title}.

If you want to find out more about the available Smarty variables, open /library/vendors/Smarty-2.6.25/libs/Smarty.class.php, search for $debugging and set it to true.

As always: debugging should never be done in productive systems.

You can just include {debug} in your template no need for modifying that file.

By the way: if you use {link...}, doesn't it create a complete <a>...</a> tag so that you would have to pass the link text already in that function?
