More control over titles

[ghost]

Can we have an option to attach the site title to all the page titles. So default title would be "MySite" and then when you go to an article page it would be something like "MySite - Some Article Title". Is this possible now?

Ok, found a simple way to do it right now. Here's the code for the above example:

 <title><% if @path == 'index' %>MySiteTitle<% else %> MySiteTitle - <%= title %><% end %></title>

Ok, above solution isn't going to serve proper titles for pages. Here's a better one:

<% if @path == 'index' %>
  MySite
<% elsif @path.split('/').compact.length == 4 %>
  MySite - <%= title %>
<% else %>
  MySite - <%= @path.capitalize.gsub(/[-]/, ' ') %>
<% end %>

The second condition checks if the page is an article. A bit of a hack but works.

FWIW, here's the solution I came up with.

ok, it's late. That didn't work at all. This is better.

I want to put my vote in for making this easier, as well.
