Setting PageTitle on product page with Notification Subscriber

I am having difficulties setting the page title with the PageTitle Notification Subscriber when viewing individual product pages. It seems to work as intended on other pages, but it looks like the title gets overwritten on product pages. Has anyone else experienced this before? :-) The code can be seen below.

public override void OnNotify(string notification, NotificationArgs args)

        {

            if (args == null)

                return;

            Dynamicweb.Notifications.Standard.Page.PageTitleArgs pta = (Dynamicweb.Notifications.Standard.Page.PageTitleArgs)args;

            var pageTitleText = pta.PageView.Area.Item["PageTitleText"];

            if (pageTitleText != null)

            {

                pta.PageView.Meta.Title += $" - {pageTitleText}";

            }

        }

Yes, that is because the view product does the same as you (more or less) and override your title.

If you are using "regular" templates with template tags, either html or Razor, you can createa a template extender instead:

public class PageTemplateExtenderSample : PageTemplateExtender
    {
        public override void ExtendTemplate(Dynamicweb.Rendering.Template template)
        {
            template.SetTag("Title", PageView.Meta.Title + " | SEO Experts invent something new to keep in business.");
        }
    }

If you use ViewModel based layout template, simply change the title tag - it cannot be done with extenders or subscribers:

@{
    var pageTitleText = pta.PageView.Area.Item["PageTitleText"];
    if (pageTitleText != null)
    {
        pageTitleText += $" - {pageTitleText}";
    }
}
<title>@Model.Title@pageTitleText</title>
