[Typo3] Dynamic page title

[Charles Rector]

Through experimentation, I figured out how to do this by modifying the 
mf_pagetitle extension myself.

Here's what I came up with:

class user_pagetitle_class	{
     var $cObj;

	function changetitle ($content, $conf)	{
		$ttnews = t3lib_div::_GP('tx_ttnews');
		$result = 
$GLOBALS["TSFE"]->tmpl->setup["plugin."]["mf_pagetitle."]["title"];
		if ($ttnews) {
			$ttnews = $ttnews['tt_news'];
			$ttnews_res = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->exec_SELECTquery('title', 
'tt_news', 'uid='.$ttnews);			
			$ttnews_row = $GLOBALS['TYPO3_DB']->sql_fetch_assoc($ttnews_res);
			$result = str_replace ("{tt_news:title}", $ttnews_row['title'], $result);
		}
		$result = str_replace ("{page:title}", 
$GLOBALS['TSFE']->page["title"], $result);
		return $result;
	}
}

So now, for example, I can do this in my typoscript:

	includeLibs.pagetitle = typo3conf/ext/mf_pagetitle/pagetitle.php
	plugin.mf_pagetitle.title = Summary - {tt_news:title}
	config.titleTagFunction = user_pagetitle_class->changetitle

And have the page title show up like this in the HTML, for example:

	<title>Summary - My Test Article Title</title>

This is when I am viewing the "SINGLE" view for example, and it passes 
tx_ttnews[tt_news]=123 on the URL.

Dunno if this is the proper way to go about it, but it seems to work!
