event title doesn't show in browser tab

Hello,

I am using the latest version of Events Booking. When I go to the detail page of an event, the browser tab doesn't show the event title, but EB_EVENT_PAGE_TITLE. How can I fix this please?

I have the same issue here. Using latest version 1.4.4

The title "EB_EVENT_PAGE_TITLE" will also be displayed as Facebook post title when posting an event to Facebook with the default facebook link on the event detail page.

A hint on how to fix this would be very much appreciated!

Best,
Sebastian

I was able to fix it.
The reason was because I was using another language file, not the default english language file.

In my (German) language file the following line was missing:
EB_EVENT_PAGE_TITLE="[EVENT_TITLE]-[CATEGORY_NAME]"

Try adding this line to your file at
/language/de-DE/de-DE.com_eventbooking.ini
(substitute the "de_DE" for the locale setting of your language here)

and see if it fixes your problem.

Best,
Sebastian

A little addition to sescha's message:

If you remove the " " it works. Add this to your translation file:

EB_CATEGORY_PAGE_TITLE=[CATEGORY_NAME]
EB_EVENT_PAGE_TITLE=[EVENT_TITLE]-[CATEGORY_NAME]

This will only work when you adjust the file itself in the language folder, e.g. public_html/language/nl-NL/nl-NL.com_eventbooking.ini
If you try to do this at joomla backend in 'event booking > translation' it will not work, as the " " are automatically added there.

=> This only works for Joomla 1.5. For Joomla 2.5 and future release of Joomla, you need the " " characters surround the string to make it works.

I work with Joomla 2.5.8. Maybe it is because it is not meant as text, but as a placeholder for the category name and event name in the browser tab.
I tried both (with and without " "), but only without " " it works. When I place " " around it, the browser tab shows [CATEGORY_NAME]

It seems you are using none-english language file, correct ? Are other language items in the language file surrounded by " " character? Maybe the other language items in your language file are not surrounded by " " and your syntax is correct ?

Normally, the correct syntax for Joomla 2.5 system is each language string must be surrounded by " " character. (please view the english language file to see the correct structure/syntax)

Yes Tuan, I used a Dutch language file. Other texts are surrounded with "". I attach the language file so you can see.



See row 420 and further.

I made quite some changes in the Dutch text to correct the grammar and make it more 'Dutch' instead of a literal translation. Maybe this file is of use to other Dutch customers, so feel free to share it.
