Dynamic Content

[chrisburton]

I’m trying to figure out a way not to use wordpress for this because of the bulk files.

Is there possibly a way to create page titles and body ID’s dynamically as I create links in the navigation?

example:

As I create:

Home




I get:

or

As I create:

News




I get:

Any ideas?

Not sure if it will work but can’t you use $_SERVER; which should return everything after index, so if in the url you have http://www.site.com it will have a value of / or if the url is http://www.site.com/news/ it would return /news/ etc.
then do something like this,,,

$urlValue = $_SERVER;

if($urlValue == "/") {

$titleValue = "";

} else {

$urlValue = ltrim($urlValue = "/");

$urlValue = rtrim($urlValue = "/");

$titleValue = " | " . $urlValue;

}





//////Then in the Title Tag

I can’t see why it wouldn’t work but i havn’t tested it and it’s probably not the best way to go about it….

I want to say Chris made a screencast which showcased this but I can’t remember. Your code somewhat works but if I have a subdomain the title displays:

John Doe | /

Fixed it by changing out the = and adding commas for $urlValue.

$urlValue = $_SERVER;

if($urlValue == "/") {

$titleValue = "";

} else {

$urlValue = ltrim($urlValue, "/");

$urlValue = rtrim($urlValue, "/");

$titleValue = " | " . $urlValue;

}

Another question is how to get the title to be capitalized?

[chrisburton]

For anyone wanting to know:

$urlValue = $_SERVER;

if($urlValue == "/") {

$titleValue = "";

} else {

$urlValue = Ltrim($urlValue, "/");

$urlValue = Rtrim($urlValue, "/");

$titleValue = " | " . ucfirst($urlValue);

}

?>

Title

Thanks @chrisbull for getting me started

whats adding the dynamic body ID? I’ve been using
">
to make the filename the body id.

[chrisburton]

@whiteinkdesign i’m confused by your response

[whiteInkDesign]

I figured it out, had a blonde moment.

[chrisburton]

@whiteinkdesign Oh, sorry. I thought you were questioning my code, not asking a question yourself.
