Hi,
I am using filtering via routes ( Filtering via routes | Kirby CMS ). So I have the following url structure:
/projects (all items)
/projects/interior (interior items)
/projects/design (design items)
etc.
In my head snippet I get the page title with the following code:
<title><?= $page->title() ?> - <?= $site->title() ?></title>
My problem is that every page has the same ‘projects’ page title. So if I’m on a specific category, this ‘projects’ title still comes back.
/projects → pagetitle: Projects - Site title
/projects/interior → pagetitle: Projects - Site title
/projects/design → pagetitle: Projects - Site title
etc.
It should be:
/projects → pagetitle: Projects - Site title
/projects/interior → pagetitle: Interior - Site title
/projects/design → pagetitle: Design - Site title
etc.
Does anybody know how I can solve this?
Thanks!
You could create a specific snippet for the projects-template where you check if you are in a category and echo the category name instead.

Or if you would like to have 1 generic head snippet you could also check if you are on this template and to logic there. E.g.:
<?php if($page->intendedtemplate() === "projects"): ?>
<title><?= $page->title() ?> <?php e($category != "" , ":".$category, "") ?> - <?= $site->title() ?></title>
<?php else: ?>
<title><?= $page->title() ?> - <?= $site->title() ?></title>
<?php endif ?>
PS: I assume $category is set earlier (e.g. in a controller).

Hi @bvdputte! Thanks for you help 
Somehow I get an error:
Cannot access protected property
However if I try the following code it I get the name of the template.
<?php
echo $page->intendedTemplate();
?>
Oh my fault I think I got it:
<?php if($page->intendedTemplate() === "projects"): ?>
<title><?= $page->title() ?> <?php e($category != "" , ":".$category, "") ?> - <?= $site->title() ?></title>
<?php else: ?>
<title><?= $page->title() ?> - <?= $site->title() ?></title>
<?php endif ?>
Forgot the () after intendedTemplate
But I got the same title without category. My projects.php controler is:
<?php
return function ($page, $category) {
$projects = $page->children()->listed();
if ($category) {
$projects = $projects->filterBy('category', $category, ',');
}
return [
'projects' => $projects
];
};
and config route:
'routes' => [
[
'pattern' => 'projects/(:any)',
'action' => function ($category) {
if ($page = page('projects/' . $category)) {
return $page;
} else {
return page('projects')->render([
'category' => $category
]);
}
}
],
Yes, you’re right, I forgot the parenthesis. 
Now it should work, I think?
Hmm. I got the same ‘Project’ title without the category name.
Your controller does not pass the $category variable to the template…
How can I do this? Sorry I don’t quite get it 
. I am just starting out with php.
You’ve been around for quite a while, so I don’t really believe this 
Like you pass the projects in the return array:
return [
'projects' => $projects,
'category' => $category,
];
That’s right. Unfortunately for me that doesn’t mean I understand everything. I wish it were like that.
It still feels like I don’t understand PHP very well. I know the basics, and I know how to hack around the basics of Kirby. But I don’t really understand what I am doing exactly yet.
Unfortunately I am unable to get it to work.
In head:
<title><?= isset( $category ) ? Str::ucfirst( $category ) : $page->title() ?> - <?= $site->title() ?></title>
In controller:
<?php
return function ($page, $category) {
$projects = $page->children()->listed();
if ($category) {
$projects = $projects->filterBy('category', $category, ',');
}
return [
'projects' => $projects,
'category' => $category,
];
};
