The change is quite easy and only requires six simple steps.

Step 1

Back up your category.def, category.db, site_html_templates.pl, category.html and nph-build.cgi files.

Step 2

Modify your category.def file as follows: Original Code: Header => [6, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''], Footer => [7, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''] New Code: Header => [6, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''], Footer => [7, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''], category_title => [8, 'alpha', 40, 100, 0, '', '']

Step 3

Edit your category.db file with you favorite editor and add an extra "|" at the end of each line.

Step 4

Edit your site_html_templates.pl file and find the site_html_category subroutine.

Original Code: build_links_per_page => $build_links_per_page, %globals New Code: build_links_per_page => $build_links_per_page, %globals, category_title => $category_title

Step 5

Edit your nph-build.cgi file and find the build_category_pages subroutine.

Original Code: local ($description, $related, $meta_name, $meta_keywords, $header, $footer, $next, $prev); New Code: local ($description, $related, $meta_name, $meta_keywords, $header, $footer, $next, $prev, $category_title); And change the following: Original Code: ($description, $related, $meta_name, $meta_keywords, $header, $footer) = @{$category{$cat}}[2..7]; New Code: ($description, $related, $meta_name, $meta_keywords, $header, $footer, $category_title) = @{$category{$cat}}[2..8];

Step 6

Finally, modify your category.html and include <%category_title%> in your title tag.

Now you can go to the Links admin web page and edit your categories. A new edit field called " category_title" will appear on category web pages. You must enter a category title for each category or that category will have no title. After you have finished editing your category titles, rebuild your website and check that everything worked.
