SEO Titles look too long for you site emails?

Many site titles are long(see below) and have more description in them for getting up there on google. If you don't do it, then start!

Well these titles get ugly in emails and heres a lil trick to shorten it.

heres an example of a really long site title, which i great for engine

$site['title'] = 'This is my site - It has all kinds of great toys for my keywords';

open inc/header.inc.php

after:

$site['title'] = 'This is my site - It has all kinds of great toys for my keywords';

insert:

$site['tinytitle'] = "Short Text";

Change "Short Text" to something shorter,

open inc/utils.inc.php:

replace:

$sMailHeader = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode( $site['title'] ) . "?= <{$site['email_notify']}>";

with:

$sMailHeader = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode( $site['tinytitle'] ) . "?= <{$site['email_notify']}>";

inc/admin.inc.php has 2 of them also

around 1100:

$notifyMessage = str_replace("<SiteName>", $site['title'], $notifyMessage);

and 1127:

$inboxSubject = str_replace("<SiteName>", $site['title'], $inboxSubject);

notice all we did was replace title with tinytitle?

I hope this helps a few.

	Thanks! The long title shows in classifieds and groups... so you have to be careful not to make it too long.

	This is definately a good thought and concept. I'm not here to complain. Unless I mis-understood this somehow...only problem I have is that it does affect other areas of the site. If I use $site['title'] ='something very long and very descriptive and all that stuff'; $site['tinytitle'] = "Mysite.com"; What happens is some email related body, subject, admin panel login, admin panel top area by boonex dolphin logo and such is extremely long. If I made it really long than the display is very garbled in many places. I did edit additional fields in utils.inc.php to compensate for most of it, but I am still missing some. The admin login page, and some of the emails. I haven't looked into the site email admin area yet, but perhaps some of these could be changed or altered a bit to shorten them up and use your tinytitle thought. What happens for me is in the message body which I did manage to correct but not check them all is something like: Hello from mysite.com The ....of something very long and very descriptive and all that stuff Is glad to inform you that.... Or something like that. Definately worth the seo though, and I will edit it a bit in my spare time. gameutopia

	Unless I am missing something I only edited the one line: open inc/utils.inc.php: replace: $sMailHeader = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode( $site['title'] ) . "?= <{$site['email_notify']}>"; with: $sMailHeader = "From: =?UTF-8?B?" . base64_encode( $site['tinytitle'] ) . "?= <{$site['email_notify']}>"; And all admin areas, email, etc do the long thing. Which is the seo long title. This is good, but other parts of this site are not so good with the long emails. Don't know why this is, I certainly can deal with the links and titles, but the email part is not so nice to deal with. I'll continue to work on it. gameutopia
