CodeIgniter Integration – Override Page Title

  • Hey guys

    Forgive me if this is a basic question but…

    I have successfully gotten CI & WP to integrate with each other. I installed CI in a sub domain of the main WP site and I can call WP from the CI system.

    My question is, if I call get_header() and get_footer() etc to retrieve bits of the template, how can I set my page title from CI when it is already configured in the header.php file?

    Is there a way to override?

    Any help would be gratefully received. Thanks.

  • The title in the source file ‘header.php’ is probably called using the function bloginfo('sitetitle'), or something similar – you can replace that with code to get the site title from some other source.

    Hey thanks for your time.

    It’s actually using wp_title(); but I see what you mean. I thought about creating a new header such as header-codeigniter.php and then calling that using get_header('codeigniter'); … but still I can’t see this leaving me much flexibility.

    I would have hoped I could use something similar to get_header('codeigniter', $data); where $data is an array/object of data that can be passed through to the template.

    Is there any way to do this without hacking the WP core? Or could you suggest a better way?

    Thank you for your time once again.

    Bump? Anyone have any ideas?

    I’ve experienced similar issues in the past in relation to sidebars, but been able to work around them by creating different bars.

    How about a small function to add an options page to the back end, so that you can save the data you wnat to options. You could then add a little code to the header to test the values and produce the header accordingly?
