This code works in the moment perfectly for giving the first page a different pagetitle. But now I got in a categorie the strange effect that a page title with spaces is written with underscore. For example instead of "Cat with spaces" as "Cat_with_spaces". But only in the first category. If I visit the detailed page to a link in this category the page title is written correctly. (Sometimes even in subcategorys).
Any idea what causes this strange (at least strange for me) behaviour?
And my second (somewhat related) question is what variable I can use inside a php-script in the template to get the category-name without underscores or parental directorys attached? Any idea?

hmm... Strange. I've only made the settings as described above. And as you can see on my sites I have the problem. And I don't find this title very... nice..
Do you have any idea where this could come from?

With this I have the same problem... underscores instead of spaces.
I use the variable {CATNAME} for the title (h2) of the category-display. Like in the default template. There seems to be everything perfect.
As said above: in my construct the page-title was shown with underscores. Now I've "fixed" this with a included php script which handle the complete pagetitle. I only give the script the content of {CATNAME} (and {TID for different pagetitles depending on the type of page). Of course it is no problem in the php script to remove the underscores. BUT: If it is a multipage, and I visit the second page there is added a /2. In a subcategory I have the following: category/subcategory
For the pagetitle not that problem (well not what I want, but I think I could live with it...). But I want another script display some books randomly selected from amazon by doing a search on the category name.
I mean, in the normal title (the one inside the h2-tags) everything is working fine. And I only updated te script to the new version. I never changed the underlying php scripts. But it seems the {CATNAME} isn't necessarly {CATNAME}...
Do you have any suggestion? Any ideas for my problems?
That {CATNAME} delievers _nothing_ to my "amazon"-Script when there are some german special chars in the catname (but delivering the catname to my pagetitle-script) is another oddity.
View source says it delivers [code] <!-- div id="buch" --> <!-- ?php $catname = "Computer_und_Technik/"; include("amazon_kat.php"); ? --> <!-- /div --> [code] to your amazon... though that makes little sense, as <!-- ?php isn't a way to open a PHP area.

I'm in the middle of upgrading from an old version of wsnlinks to the new 3.3.1.
The pagetitle was defined:
{CATNAME} {AREA} | SometextThis worked fine until I began to code a different pagetitle for the first page.

1. I can't reproduce your problem. At http://links.philosophyforums.com/ I've put this in the wrapper:
<title><IF {TID} contains main.tpl>Philosophy Forums Links Directory<OTHERWISE>{PAGETITLE}</IF></title>2. {CATNAME}

I really don't get it.
I use the variable {CATNAME} for the title (h2) of the category-display. Like in the default template.
There seems to be everything perfect.

Try posting your full wrapper, maybe there's something else in there.
