Change the browser window title?

adam42

I can't find anything about changing the browser window title. If I want the browser window title to be different from the default, e.g.:

"Discussion about browser window title which can be really long - My Flarum Board"

"My Flarum Board - Discussion about browser window title which can be really long"

Is there a way of achieving this?

Thanks

The reason why it's asked for is because people have multiple tabs open, often dozens, and they want to find the flarum tab quickly and so are looking for the flarum site title, e.g. Flarum Community.

The problem is that this part of the title often gets truncated by the browser so all they see is the first part "Change the browser...." and might not recognise it.

Obviously a unique favicon helps, but having the site title first in the window title is the most obvious UI design.

I don't think there's any end-user friendly way to change this.

An extension could definitely change the title format. It would have to change it both in the frontend and backend, because the initial title is computed server-side, and then client-side when changing page in the single page application.

There is actually a PR open right now to make the backend title more extensible, until this is shipped changing the title server-side probably requires a bit of a hack.

Oh, I see. Thanks
