    Append text to title

    I'm trying to add some extra text to the title for some of my pages using a .NET UserControl.

    My template structure looks like this:

    MasterpageTemplate
      PageTemplate

    My MasterpageTemplate has this code for setting the page Title:

    <head runat="server>
    <title>
    <    umbraco:Item runat="server" field="pageName" /> - <umbraco:Item runat="server" field="siteName" recursive="true" />
    </title>
    </head>

    I use this to change the title in my UserControl:

    Page.Title = "My Page Title";

    I think this actually works - BUT the <umbraco:Item /> overwrites my title. When i use the following code in my MasterPageTemplate the above code does work:

    <head runat="server>
    <title></title>
    </head>

     

    What I want is to add the <umbraco:Item /> to my existing Title (wish is added by my UserControl first), exampel "My Page Title, *pageName* - *siteName*".
    How do I do this?

    You can read the umbraco values directly in your user control using the API or uQuery.

    Then you could just do (pseudo code)

    Page.Title = umbracoValue1 + umbracoValue2 + "My Page Title";

    Sounds like what I'm looking for. Do you have any example or documentation I can read about reading umbraco values?

    Hi,

    Some documentation here http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/api-cheatsheet/working-with-the-nodefactory

    Or the Umbraco TV API video is good too.

    You can also use uComponents uQuery http://ucomponents.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=uQuery
