  Has anyone written a pntitle.php that works for the pnAmazon module?
  I've made a couple of attempts myself but they just break my website, which was not the desired affect
  
  For those about to ask, pntitle.php is for the TitleHack that you'll find over at lottasophie.sourceforge.net
  
  Thx

  Rather than give up completely why not try to work through the problems? Perhaps post on Jorg's site (lottasophie.sourceforge.net) and ask for help debugging your existing code. Once complete you could then contribute this back to community.

  I assume getting the titlehack to read the module name is isn't what you're having a problem with. I'm guessing you want the product name to show in your title bar like the title shows when you view a story.
  
  For most modules, the information is pulled from you PN database for pntitle.php but, in pnAmazon, there are no nuke_ data tables to pull from since the information is coming from Amazon. So I think you'll need to pass the item name from index.php to the copy of pntitle.php in your pnAmazon directory, so the product name will show up in your title when you publish the detail on index2.php.

  Thanks Markwest and Slugger
  
  My particular problem is that I don't particularly know the dynamics behind how postnuke create the page, I believe the index.php in PNAmazon does an include that calls header.php from the top level which in turn does an include of pntitle.php from the modules directory.
  
  One problem that I've run into is that in my pntitle.php I need to do SOAP calls, but the include of nusoap.php is usually done in the PNAmazon index.php. If I include it again in the pntitle.php it barfs.
  
  So I moved the include into the pntitle.php and removed it from the PNAmazon index.php to see if that did the trick but it doesn't seem to work either.
  
  I don't really know PHP, but I do know a fair amount of perl which is helping me to read the PHP code and I am able to extract the pertinent parts of code from other peoples examples.
  
  Here's what I have so far, perhaps someone could point me at where I may be going wrong....

  I still think you'd do better by passing the product name from index1 than by moving your SOAP functions into pntitle.php. I haven't done it but that is how I'd approach it.
