Root in the title bar

   I think that this is where you set the bread crumb trail text for the root.
If you look here you will see what I mean:

I have dictLanguage.Add "english_viewCat_P_2 set to "Our Products" which shows in the bread crumbs.
But, if you go click on our products which takes you back to ViewCategories.asp, then you still see "Root" in the title bar.

	I believe this is a combination of the include-metatags.asp and your settings.asp includes file. Have you set the company store name in Store Settings for example? So you need to set this line in include-metatags.asp: Const DefaultTitle = "<your name>" and the store title which I think is substituted then into the title. cheers Mark

	Thanks to everyone that has offered suggestions on this one, but nothing suggested has worked yet. My default.asp is a copy of viewcategories.asp. This page draws from the database to populate. Since the categories are all part of the root, that seems to be where product cart is getting the name root and putting it in the title. If you go to a category, then root does not show up. Instead, the category shows up such as Country Living Grain Mill and so on. The question becomes, can you change the name of the root category? If not, is there a way to trap what is happening and replace it with what I want to put in there as my text.

	The word "root" is saved in the first row the table "categories" in your database. If you can find an experienced db editor, or if you are familiar with db editing, then you can change the word. Just remember to backup before you do any editing of the db.

	Hi Ammonihah, Which version of Product Cart are you running? - I just checked a site I have running V3.11 (With BTO - but I doubt that makes a difference) and I'm not seeing the results you are getting. The Backboards page you provided a link to is not showing Root in the title, but your "Home" and "viewcategories" pages do. If you running V3.11 try putting back in place the default version and see if it still mentions "Root". If not, then you can update the 3 lines with the default meta data and away you go. If so then let us know. Looking at the code in the member the title is built up in several possible ways, so we may need to work through them to determine the root cause of "Root" - which as Matt says comes from the DB, but I don't believe should be being displayed.

	Matt, Is this correct? If the word root is coming from the database, is there something that I have done to make it appear in the title or is this normal?
