Spotlight: Different text than Page Title?

[kevinweclikcom 0]

Hi, what is the best way to have the Spotlight area display differnt text than 'pagetitle'. For example, on the About page, to have the spotlight area text say "we are a very nice company". I see the _spotlight.php file, but not sure best way to alter the pagetitle

First, I want to point out that in "Theme Options->Header and Nav" there's an option to change the title for the blog area spotlight. But, it doesn't sound like that's what you want, so... In the _spotlight.php file, you'll notice a series of if statements. In order to change the text for the about page, you'll need to alter this area:

<?php elseif(is_page()):?>
									<?php the_title(); ?>

Now: if you want the spotlight text for all pages to be a certain text, then you would simply change

<?php the_title(); ?>

to the text you want. However, if you only want to change the text on the about page, then your code would look like this:

	<?php elseif(is_page()):?>
	  <?php if(is_page('about')): ?>
	   Text you want to go in the spotlight
	  <?php else:?>
	<?php the_title(); ?>
	  <?php endif; ?>
	

I didn't try it out, but it should work just fine. If it doesn't, feel free to let us know and we can get it fixed up.
