Thanks Jason. I realized what's going on here, I use a plugin called Title Manager which allows me to manipulate the site name without actually changing the site name. This allows me to place relevant keywords into the page title which is why I use it. ES's apps are trying to access the site name through Joomla's traditional method for displaying the site name. Because it's "hidden" (as in replaced) the site title does not display. I'm guessing there is no way to manipulate only the first part of the title with apps?

I wouldn't mind changing the site name to use these keywords as part of it except that notification emails will include those keywords as part of the name.

It does something similar on the Friends (All friends) page as well. "Your Requests" sometimes displays as the title of "Sent Invitations" when you click on them a few times

I should also note that ES seems to work fine with the plugin "Title Manager" on most pages as seen here. It even works with profile apps when linking directly to them. Swap to different apps without using url's and suddenly the app name takes over the entire title. So it seems that there might be a difference in how clicked apps get the title vs how a ES page normally gets the title.

Hi,

Indeed there is a different logic in setting the title, JS and PHP.

Clicking on links that refreshes the page, will set the title through PHP, and in this sense, it goes through server processing and Joomla's processing as well. While clicking on links that doesn't refresh the page, does not go through Joomla's processing (hence eliminated possible plugins along the way). The only thing that was hardcoded into the scripts was the settings of the above mentioned Joomla's setting regarding the title.
