    Default [Done v1.3.9a] Customized Title not shown on Admin Home page (ignores tpl override)

    Issue:
    Customizing the file
    includes/languages/english/meta_tags.php

    and modifying the TITLE define works fine in the catalog but is not
    reflected in the Admin section.

    Root Cause:
    In admin/includes/languages/english.php, $template_dir not set

    This results in the defaults from includes/languages/english being used, rather than any customizations.

    The workaround is to change admin/includes/languages/english.php just after

    // removed for meta tags
    // page title
    //define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart');

    // include template specific meta tags defines

    to include the code

    // removed for meta tags
    // page title
    //define('TITLE', 'Zen Cart');

    // include template specific meta tags defines
    $template_query = $db->Execute("select template_dir
    from " . TABLE_TEMPLATE_SELECT .
    " where template_language = '0'");
    $template_dir = $template_query->fields['template_dir'];

    This is just a workaround; I'm sure the final fix will be quite different.
    Be sure to back up admin/includes/english/english.php so you can restore it
    when a proper fix is provided.

    BIG thanks for working that one out - wonder why there's no fix yet?

    Hmm, I just realised that this is also doing this on 1.3.5.
    Have I done something wrong on the upgrade, or is this still not fixed in the code?

    It has not yet been fixed in core code. It has behaved this way for a long time, and it's always aggravated me because I'm the kind of dork who likes to have 27 windows open, so the title is very important to me.

    Here's a nicer presentation of this tip for those who want it:

    Scott I'm with you on this ;-) Can you confirm if your fixes above work well in 1.35x?

    Works like a champ! In fact, I just updated my page to indicate that this fix is required in 1.3.0-1.3.5.

    My fix is still required in 1.3.6. I have updated my documentation to reflect this.

    Default Re: Customized Title not shown on Admin Home page

    I found that in v1.3.6 I was able to change the Admin Title with just one change.

    admin/includes/languages/english.php

    line 40
    // removed for meta tags
    // page title
    define('TITLE', 'Admin - Name of Site);

    This works but it could be confusing if you have overriden this file. Other changes you make in the core file (but not your override) would not be picked up.

    Template overrides are being used so not sure what you mean by "if you have overriden this file"?
