Adding a title to a page via osc/admin/tools/file manager

[Guest]

Hi all,

If I go into a page like privacy.php via tools/filemanager can I add my page title as below?

Current

<title><?php echo TITLE; ?></title>

 

Replaced

<title>Privacy<title>

 

Would that cause issues?

If you have an older version, you shouldn't use the file manager in admin because it corrupts the files. In any version, it can be a security problem. So, in general, it shouldn't be used.

 

But as far as the change, yes, that will work. It won't work properly if you use more than one language but won't cause any problems.

Thanks for that Jack. I loaded oscommerce on in late 2007 what version would you recommend and is it easy to update the version?

Sorry if my questions sound a little 'dah'.

I would install a contribution, like header tags Seo, that makes all the job much more easy

You can't tell from that section of the files what your version is. To know for sure, see the link in my signature to determine your actual version. It is not an easy job to upgrade to the latest version (RC2) if you do not have experience with such things so I wouldn't recommend it. Installing the Header Tags SEO contribution like multimixer mentioned is a good idea since it gives you total control over the titles.
