Add Page Titles and Google Translator To Your ScreenSteps Live Custom Templates

We are happy to announce a few minor updates to custom templates on ScreenSteps Live.

Page Titles for Custom Templates

Until now, custom templates could only have a single page title setting. This was a real pain if you were using some sort of tracking code in your custom template because your reports would show every page as having the same title. Also, serving up every page with the exact same title didn’t do much for SEO optimization.

But now if you add the following code to your custom template you will get improved page titles.

<title>{{ page_title }}</title>

The page title is constructed as follows:

space_title | manual_or_bucket_title | lesson_title

Google Translator

Many people have asked about the Google Translator widget we have on the sidebar of our lessons. It is a quick way of letting users translate your lessons into whatever language they need. The translations may not be perfect but in most cases they are close enough. You can now add this to your custom template by inserting the following code:

{% assign show_translator = true %}

Important: The Google Translator can only be added to public spaces.

There are also a few other options which we have documented in the following two lessons:

• Preparing a Custom Template
• Experimental Custom Template Additions

We hope that you find the new features useful.
