[TYPO3-english] Pt #2: How to position a custom page title tag near the top of my head section?

Wed Jun 29 20:23:35 CEST 2011

Hello all!

I'm sorry to bring up a topic that has been discussed previously but I'm
hoping to dig a bit deeper to find a solution:
http://lists.typo3.org/pipermail/typo3-english/2010-July/070033.html

My basic goal is to move my custom <title> tag to the top of the <head>
section of my page. Simple (I hoped!)! The problem I'm running into is the
same as Harm Webster's in the post above - I am generating a custom title in
the headerData and not using the native *###TITLE###*. I would move the
headerData section up in the page using *
typo3/sysext/cms/tslib/templates/tslib_page_frontend.html* however I also
have some other content in headerData, such as conditional CSS for IE, some
custom meta tags, etc (which needs to be near the bottom of the page). So,
simply moving headerData to the top of the page (which would solve my
<title> position problem), and to be honest I'm not sure what other issues
moving headerData around might cause.

Is anybody aware of any solutions to this issue? For instance (just a wild
example), is it possible to add a new "attribute" to the
tslib_page_frontend.html file, such as *###HEADERDATATOP### *and somehow map
it to an attribute that acts the same as headerData, so I could move
###HEADERDATATOP### to the top of the tslib_page_frontend.html file and push
my custom title into this attribute, while leaving ###HEADERDATA### at the
bottom of the page in it's original position?

I am not yet an expert with typoscript, so I apologize if there is a simple
answer to this issue. I've talked with a few typoscript veterans and nobody
has come up with a solution yet at this point.

Also, I would not be apposed to installing an extension if
absolutely necessary, though I would of course prefer to do this with an
"out of the box" and native solution!

Thanks for reading! Happy day!
