Is it possible to have the title automatically generated from user submitted fields? For example I need the title to be the users location. So the user enters country, state and city in the ‘Location and address’ field. How can I make the title be the country, state and city? It needs to be in the url.

Thanks for your help

Sergey Fixed in upcoming version. I have preg_match instead of preg_match_all. That is why it was replacing only first occasion.

Hi Sergey,

Can you please advise if I can show multiplelevel select option on title? Is it possible?

Depends what you mean.

Multiple select will be visible with values combined by coma ,.

Multiple level selct is more complicated. If you selected multiple values of multiple level select it will be also converted into string separated by coma.

Thanks for your reply.

Can you please get me an example considering the example I am giving here. Lets say I Have Make then Model. Make has values like Ford, Audi, Toyota, then you select Toyota and the model for Toyota are Corolla, Yaris etc etc..

Now the field used here is Makemodel. What will I input in composite title to display Toyota Corolla?

Thanks for doing this Sergey, it works great.

For me it does not matter that it uses the country code instead of country name because in my custom template I can make the title from the Geo field so only the url has “city-state-country code” which is fine.

Sergey,

I think this issue is still not fixed. When I use html syntax in the title, the breadcrumb still shows html syntax.

brianpat the breadcrumb still shows html syntax.

We cannot fix that. This is how Joomla handle breadcrumbs. We just give it a text and it display the way they want.

Only hack it I think :) You need that HTML thee or you want to strip HTML when in breadcrumbs?

I guess, an override or alt-layout for breadcrumps module should work for you. As far as the output is accessible and can be modified in that file. (sometimes things might be created and formatted earlier in the core, so no guarantees.)

override:

templates > YOURtemplate > html > mod_breadcrumbs > default.php

or

alternative layout (selectable in module adv. parameters)

templates > YOURtemplate > html > mod_breadcrumbs > cobalt.php
