I'm now reading about SEO... and "title" tag is considered the most important one. Too many characters are ignored... is there a way for Cotonti to change order of information in Title tags? So that "site name - description" comes at the very end. I can't see any means to do it in the titles section - the titles doesn't include site name and description.

It's "Header title" which defines overall format. Change "{MAINTITLE} - {SUBTITLE}" to "{SUBTITLE}", so it won't include standard title everywhere.

I'll refresh this topic once more...

Is there a possibility for Cotonti to generate a path of categories in title insead of only {PAGE} - {CAT}?

I'd like it to generate a path of subcategories in reverse order. I would see it as an additional title tag...

Page - cat 3 - cat 2 - cat 1 | Site name

instead of:

Page - cat 3 | Site name

I saw that Google likes such titles and creates a page path in the search results.

You'd need a plugin to do that. However i don't think its a good idea to include all parent categories in the title since it would get way too long. Google will truncate long titles.

Yes, I know long titles get truncated... but it's anyway a good thing IMO.

So I can do this by plugin? Hmmm... gonna think about it.

Hook into page.main, modify $out['subtitle'] using $cat['tpath']. Same is for page.list.main hook, using $structure['page'][$c]['tpath'].
