Description

This is a patch that will tweak phpBB's page titles. It aims to correct the page titles in phpBB to be more search engine friendly and bookmark friendly.
• When viewing forums, forum names come first, followed by the site name: Current Forum - My Site Name
• When viewing topics, topic titles come first, followed by the site name: Current Topic - My Site Name
• The 'View Forum' and 'View Topic' text is omitted from the title.
• This will also add Page Numbering to paginated forums and topics, (this idea/code inspired from a MOD by Greenweaver and Evil<3): Current Topic - Page 3 - My Site Name.
• The use of bullets are replaced by hyphens, so there are always only hyphens between title subjects
• All other pages like UCP, MCP, etc will display the page title the way phpBB has in the past, except using hyphens instead of bullets

A GIT format-patch file is attached with the changes to do this.

I think it should be added asap, as long as the MOD and Styles teams are happy.

Thanks for catching the file permission problem.

Should we merge this into 3.0 as well? Seems like a minor change which makes quite a difference.

Executable bits should be killed before the patch is committed.
