pages with the same PAGE_TITLE

[Matze]

Hi,
another question...
Isn't it possible to create pages with the same PAGE_TITLE?
Because I wanna have several news pages which have the same PAGE_TITLE.

no you cant create pages that are called the same...
But you can use the feature WEBSITE_TITLE for that purpose, so all the pages have the same website title...

but that depends on the template that you're using

In theory you could use the same page title, but not same menu title (because menu title is used in the filename to access the page), but it is just a code thing. If you edited the DB directly using phpMyAdmin, or something like it, then you could overcome any checks WB has.

I have an idea, but I don't understand much of php.
Couldn't I name the pages Page_1, Page_2,...
And then in the menu I say that only the string before the '_' should be shown but the filename is still Page_1.php and so on.
This must be possible! How to do this?

One way would be the following:
In your template index.php, locate the line where it says:

Code:

echo stripslashes($page['menu_title']);

and change it to

Code:

$text=stripslashes($page['menu_title']);
$a=strpos($text,"_");
if ($a>0)
    $text=substr($text,0,$a);
echo $text;

This searches for underscores in your menu_title, prints out the part before the first occurrence of "_" or, if none found, the full string.

Hi Stefan,
thank you for your answer, but if I use this code the output is following:
Page_1Page
Page_2Page
...
instead of 'Page'

You have to delete the original line.

I deleted the original line!

I found my mistake, I forgot to remove the 'echo' at the beginning...
