Nothing in core ACP yet, you'd have to manually modify the correct language file, ex: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/blob/master/public/language/en_GB/pages.json#L2

This will be customizable from ACP when this issue is resolved: https://github.com/NodeBB/NodeBB/issues/1643

Just to add to this, shouldn't topics have topictitle | NodeBB and not Home.

@a_5mith They do on chrome I think its bugged on safari.

There´s some bugs on browser title update. 1- On safari on mac, if you enter home or categories will go just fine, but if you enter on a topic the browser title goes back to default after a second. ( default = first browser title that wa...

for that feature. Would be really great if you could move the order for example. So this here could look like NodeBB | Custom Page Title instead of Custom Page Title | NodeBB

@psychobunny Any news on this? I don't want "Home" in there as well. Thanks!

[julian]

Yes, this is customisable and has been for awhile now.

@julian How can I set a custom title for the home page only? Thanks!

[Jenkler]

I must have missed that setting also?

Site Title and Title Layout

Should i set this " {pageTitle} | {browserTitle}" to {browserTitle} ??? Or how should it be used?

I want to keep pageTitle on all the other pages and change the home part on the startpage!

Any other vars except
{pageTitle}
{browserTitle}

[Jenkler]

I guess we will need to stick to Home if we want pagename | *

[julian]

Right, I mean it is customisable only in that you can change the order around. Only values are {pageTitle} and {browserTitle}, not sure if other template values can be used.

Please, tell how can I remove "Home | " only from index page. And how can I modify {browserTitle} on custom route? thanks in advice.

[julian]

@dread At this time I do not believe we can customise the title template to only apply to specific pages (not not to a specific page).

Can you tell me more about how your custom route is defined? Was it via a plugin?

Hi. I`d try

    if (req.path === '/api/' || req.path === '/') {
        meta.config.browserTitle = '{browserTitle}';
        config.browserTitle = meta.config.browserTitle || meta.config.title;
        meta.config.titleLayout = '{browserTitle}';
        config.titleLayout = (meta.config.titleLayout || '{browserTitle}').replace(/{/g, '{').replace(/}/g, '}');
    } 

in src/controllers/api.js where meta configs defined - but it doesn't work( where I can change core files to modify "Home | " from index page? than i'd try

if (req.path === '/api/' || req.path === '/') {
		config.titleLayout = (meta.config.titleLayout || '{browserTitle}').replace(/{/g, '{').replace(/}/g, '}')
			.replace(/|/g, '').replace(/|/g, '').replace(/\|/g, '');
} else {
		config.titleLayout = (meta.config.titleLayout || '{pageTitle} | {browserTitle}').replace(/{/g, '{').replace(/}/g, '}');
	} 

after "home": " " in pages.json but I had only "| NodeBB"
also I saw https://github.com/julianlam/nodebb-plugin-canned-responses/blob/master/library.js and your hook addTitles but I dont understand how can i modify <title> on main page with this hook after I choose it with titleMatch = /^/api/$/ or titleMatch = /^/$/
thanks.
