How to customize title to be like these?

[TetraTheta]

I've found that title of the page is too long to me. I want to modify title of the page to be simple like this:

Site main page

<site name> - <site description>

(This is same as current)

Category/Series/Tags page

<category|series|tags name> - Category|Series|Tags - <site name>

(Same as current)

Section page

1. If parent section exists (blog doesn't count for parent section)

   <parent section name>/<current section name> - <site name>
   

2. If parent section doesn't exist (blog doesn't count for parent section)

   <current section name> - <site name>
   

This will only exclude blog for title, not docs.

I've done similar thing to partials/hb/modules/blog/post/meta/first-section.html.

{{- with .CurrentSection -}}
<span class="hb-blog-post-section">
  <div class="badge bg-secondary text-decoration-none fw-normal">
    {{- with .Parent -}}
      {{- if and (not .IsHome) (ne .Title "블로그") -}}
    <a class="bg-secondary text-decoration-none fw-normal" style="color: var(--hb-badge-color);" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
    <div class="bg-secondary text-decoration-none fw-normal" style="display: inline-block; color: var(--hb-badge-color); opacity: 0.45;">&nbsp;/&nbsp;</div>
      {{- end -}}
    {{- end -}}
    <a class="bg-secondary text-decoration-none fw-normal" style="color: var(--hb-badge-color);" href="{{ .RelPermalink }}">{{ .Title }}</a>
  </div>
</span>
{{- end -}}

This will only exclude blog('블로그') from parent section. It won't display '블로그' or 'Blog' to section name.

Post page

<post title> - <site name>

This will remove all section information from title.

My guess is that I should modify lots of files for this...

There is an undocumented parameter called title_sections of github.com/hugomods/base module, when false, the section titles will not be included into the titles.

params:
  title_sections: false

I think my use case would be niche use case. There are so many 'preferred title structure' like these:

1. Hello World - Site
2. Hello World - Programming - Site
3. Hello World - Programming/JS - Site (Using / instead of -)
4. Hello World - Programming - JS - Site (Without Blog part)
5. Hello World - Programming/JS/Blog - Site (Using / instead of -, Blog included)
6. Hello World - Programming - JS - Blog - Site (Current way)
7. Hello World - JS/Programming - Site (Parent section comes first)
8. Hello World - Blog/JS/Programming - Site (Parent section comes first, Blog included)

Maybe letting user to decide how title would structured with template just like Hugo does to Date be good idea.

params:
  title:
    section:
      order: order: 'default'|'reverse' # 'default' will put root/topmost section first. 'reverse' will do opposite
      depth: 2 # From deepest section to root section
      delim: ' - '|'/' # string to put between section title
      exclude_root_section: true # Exclude 'Blog' or 'Docs' section?
    format: # Use 'post_title', 'section', 'site', 'site_description', 'post_description' etc. for templating
      site: 'site - site_description'
      texanomy: 'texanomy - site'
      section: 'section - site'
      post: 'post_title - section - site'

Yes, this will definitely make extra complexity to user and dev...

[razonyang]

Yep, it's complex, but I don't whether to have them all, at least the sections depth and order is good to have, thanks for your opinions.

[TetraTheta]

Thank you for taking this into account!

I will close this discussion for awhile, and try to re-open it after the linked issue is resolved and I still can't get the idea of how to modify it (if needed), if I don't forget that I should re-open this rather than opening new discussion...

I finally managed to get title I want.

First, I created i18n/ko.toml and put these line in it.

# I don't need total page number
[paginator_title]
other = "{{ .PageNumber }} 페이지"

And modified layouts/partials/base/title.html like this

{{- $titles := slice .Title -}}
{{/* Page Title */}}
{{/* Paginator */}}
{{- with .Paginator -}}
  {{- if gt .PageNumber 1 -}}
    {{- $titles = $titles | append "-" (i18n "paginator_title" .) }}
  {{- end -}}
{{- end -}}
{{/* Section */}}
{{- $sections := (partial "base/functions/sections-titles" .) | collections.Reverse -}}
{{/* remove '블로그' from sections */}}
{{- if eq (index $sections 0) "블로그" -}}
  {{- $sections = after 1 $sections -}}
{{- end -}}
{{- if gt ($sections | len) 1 -}}
  {{- $titles = $titles | append "-" (delimit $sections "/") -}}
{{- end -}}
{{/* Title */}}
{{- if not .IsHome -}}
  {{- $titles = $titles | append "-" .Site.Title -}}
{{- end -}}
{{- delimit $titles " " -}}

I hard-coded delimiters because I use different delimiters for sections and I don't have a plan to define them in params.yaml.

Thank you for the updates. I couldn't figure out how to configure the title without that.

As for missing translation in i18n/ko.toml, here are some translation candidates.

# Only current page number
# e.g. '3 페이지'
[paginator_title]
other = "{{ .PageNumber }} 페이지"
# Basic translation
# e.g. '5 페이지 중 3 페이지'
[paginator_title]
other = "{{ .TotalPages }} 페이지 중 {{ .PageNumber }} 페이지"
# Basic translation, but simplified (recommended)
# '/' is commonly used separator for current page number and total page number, at least in Korea.
# You can choose '/' or ' / '(spaces around '/') for this. I chose '/' because it takes less space.
# e.g. '3/5 페이지'
[paginator_title]
other = "{{ .PageNumber }}/{{ .TotalPages }} 페이지"

I will leave these in here instead of creating PR because I'm not sure which one you'd like.

[razonyang]

Thanks for the translations.

Customizing a title typically depends on the context in which you want to use it. Here are a few general suggestions for customizing titles:
Editing Document Titles:
In word processing software or online document editors, you can customize the title of your document by selecting the existing title and typing in your desired text.
Website Titles:
If you're referring to a title on a website, you might be able to customize it through the website's content management system (CMS) or settings. This is often done in the "Site Title" or "Header" sections.
Customizing Email Subject Lines:
For emails, you can customize the subject line by editing the text in the subject field before sending the email.
Customizing Presentation Titles:
In presentation software, such as PowerPoint or Google Slides, you can edit the title slide to customize the title of your presentation.
Programming and Coding:
In the context of programming or coding, customizing a title could refer to changing the title of a window, webpage, or application. This is usually done through code by modifying the relevant HTML, CSS, or programming language.
Social Media:
On social media platforms, you can customize titles for your posts, articles, or even your profile. This is typically done during the creation or editing of the content.
File Titles:
When saving or renaming a file on your computer, you can customize the title by right-clicking on the file, selecting "Rename," and entering the desired title.
Remember, the specific steps for customizing a title can vary based on the platform or software you're using. If you provide more details about the context or platform, I can offer more tailored guidance.
