Oh no. My happiness was shortlived after reading on. As mentioned earlier, the name of deceased is the name needed to appear at the page title. It is a cb field.

Is the anyway to modify the css etc? To replace [username] with [cb_field]. If yes, location of file please. Thanks.

What's the problem exactly? You can use substitutions in CB Auto Actions. Just specify the title as your field. Please see my exmaple below where I use substitutions.

Type: Code
Trigger: onAfterUserProfileDisplay
Access: Everybody
Method: Page Title
Code: [user_id] - [username]

or are you referring to SEF URLs? As no you can't change this; it'll always use Username for the SEF URLs.

the issue is what was stated originally in the subject - need for google to crawl over that cb_field so that the particular profile page with that cb_field can appear the google search result.

So now question is whether the spider crawl over url or page title.

Google displays in its results 2 things. Page Title and Description. The page title can be changed with CB Auto Actions as explained throughout this thread. The Description is a metatag, which you can add using CB Auto Actions (Code action with Head method). If no description is included Google will use the first few words up to a maximum character count (100?) that it finds on the page.

this sounds really good. I've already completed changing the title using your step. Successful. Now will do a test and monitor to see if google captures the page title and display the results like before. Will keep you updated if that's useful.

To add a description use the header method with the below as the code.

<meta name="description" content="CONTENT_HERE" />

Please keep in mind the CONTENT_HERE should include no HTML. It needs to be just a string of text. You can find more information below on what meta tags Google uses.
