Easy Tab Title
Turn the browser tab into a notification and engagement channel. Rules, presets, favicon badges, and a developer API for Joomla 4, 5, and 6.
System package
Easy Tab Title
Bring visitors back. Animate the tab. No code.
Build rules that change the browser tab title and favicon when visitors leave, scroll, wait, or fire your own events. Start from a preset, then go deeper with conditions, sequences, and a JavaScript API.
Live on this tab
Notification counter + badge
This page fires a demo notification event and sets count to 3. The title and favicon badge update through the developer API.
- TriggerCustom event
- EffectCounter
- StopManual / API
Try it: Watch the tab title become (3) … and the favicon badge appear shortly after load.
Rule engine
Trigger, conditions, delay, effect, and stop. Blink on leave is one preset, not the whole product.
Presets
Come Back, Welcome Back, Notification, Cart Reminder, Countdown, and Read This in one click.
Title effects
Static, blink, scroll, and rotate with safe speed defaults and reduced-motion fallbacks.
Favicon badges
Swap the favicon while a rule runs, or show a numeric or dot badge for unread counts.
Developer API
Call EasyTabTitle.trigger(), setCount(), and condition() from carts, forums, or custom JS.
Progressive load
No matching rule means zero frontend JavaScript. Timers start only when a rule needs them.
How to try it on your site
- Install Install the Easy Tab Title package, then enable System - Easy Tab Title.
- Preset Components > Easy Tab Title. Apply Come Back, save, and clear cache.
- Verify Open a matching page, switch to another tab for about 10 seconds, then return.
Demo notes
Unread without a full inbox UI
Membership sites and dashboards can call EasyTabTitle.setCount() and trigger("notification") from their own scripts.
Use the demo tabs above to compare live behaviours. Each tab has its own rule assigned, so the browser title and favicon only change for that scenario.
