The following procedure is how you can change the title of a SharePoint ASPX page.<\/p>\n
Start by editing the page in SharePoint designer – try to go into advanced mode.<\/p>\n
If the file crashes designer – because SP Designer sucks – then use an alternate editor, such as notepad (what I did was get the file into edit mode in SPD – not advanced mode, because that’s what crashed it – and then copied the contents to another editor) editing it this way will exclude all the crap SPD injects into the HTML.<\/p>\n
Again, if your SPD died, copy the code into another editor and make your changes (below).<\/p>\n
Look for the following bit of code in your aspx file (whether that be a webpart page or a page layout, etc – note, you’re not changing a master page as part of this process, the master page will inherit what you change here).<\/p>\n
\n<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
<\/font><SharePoint:ListItemProperty Property="BaseName" maxlength="40" runat="server"\/>
<\/font><\/asp:Content><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nThe line "<SharePoint:ListItemProperty Property="BaseName" maxlength="40" runat="server"\/><\/font>" is what injects the dynamic name of the page. If you want to augment that, you can put text before and\/or after it, and it will combine the text all together, such as below.<\/p>\n
Example modification:<\/h4>\n
\n<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
PreText <SharePoint:ListItemProperty Property="BaseName" maxlength="40" runat="server"\/><\/font> PostText
<\/asp:Content><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOutcome Page Title:<\/h4>\n
\nPreText GeneratedPageName PostText<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Alternatively, you can replace the entire dynamic text with a fixed value, and that will be used as the page title instead.<\/p>\n
Example modification:<\/h4>\n
\n<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderId="PlaceHolderPageTitle" runat="server">
General Manager View
<\/asp:Content><\/font><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\nOutcome Page Title:<\/h4>\n
\nGeneral Manager View<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
