I have an issue with my custom titles (sef enabled).

it seems like CB is blocking the input from appearin in the title with a get function.
this happens with user lists.

is this a known issue?

CB sets titles through API. Menu titles won't do anything in CB. If you want your userlist to have a custom title just change the userlists title. You can also try using CB Auto Actions in a Code action to alter the page title.

i dont think that api behaviour is helpful to handle a consistent way to treat urls and metas. maybe a point for cb 2.0? all other components allow the admin to customize the titles and metas through the build in joomla title and meta managenet.

however i know how to build my work around with this now.

thank you

What is true trouble CB seems to not allow the meta description either.

Thats a serious handicap when it comes to SEO.

CB doesn't prepare any of that so there's nothing for CB to not allow. Joomla is supposed to prepare that. We don't touch meta data. No CB page prepares or touches metadata except page title.

My guess for meta data not adding is Joomla depreciated Task in favor of View so it doesn't think it's actually on the menu link. It should be Itemid based though to avoid this.

You can add custom metadata to CB pages with substitution support using CB Auto Actions as well as the Code action lets you add whatever you want to the header. There are also dozens of meta extensions to help add meta data to pages.

Is it possible to ad a code with cb auto action that deactivates the setPageTitle function of CB to make the Joomla page title and meta functionality work?

its also the meta description that doesnt work with CB.
