the_title filter only for page title display

  • Hi all,

    I am writing a plugin which should disable the display of the title for a certain page. I am using the ‘the_title’ filter to hook into the title creation:

    function myplugin_hide_title($title) {
	if (is_page(myplugin_page_name())) {
		$title == '';
	}
	return $title;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'myplugin_hide_title');

    But my callback function gets called like everywhere – in the head, in the nav_menu, etc. This seems to be intended by wordpress. But is there any way to determine that I am inside the page titles call of the_title? Conditional tags or something? Or is there a different filter hook which I have not found til now?

    Thanks for your help,

    ok, I tried the following using ‘in_the_loop()’ conditional. First I thought it would work, but this also returns true if its called within sidebars/widgets.

    if (in_the_loop() && is_page(myplugin_page_name())) $title = '';

    any suggestions on this?

    talking to myself… ?? I mostly got it working as intended. There seem to be some bugs in thematic (which is the theme I am using) an in_the_loop (see https://code.google.com/p/thematic/issues/detail?id=145). Nevertheless I got this bug fixed from the SVN and my final method looks like this:

    function myplugin_hide_title($title, $id) {
	if (in_the_loop() && is_page(myplugin_page_name()) && $id == get_the_ID()) {
		$title == '';
	}
	return $title;
}
add_filter('the_title', 'myplugin_hide_title', 10, 2);
