I also wonder if it's possible to remove the "News" viewbag title from the home page

You can change it or even completely remove it. To do the latter:
Open App/Modules/News/Http/Controllers/NewsController. Find the showOverviewmethod and this (around line 54):

$this->title('no-title');

Then open <cms-folder>/contentify/HtmlBuilder.php. Find the titlemethod (around line 66). At its beginning add this:

if ($title == 'no-title') return '<title>'.Config::get('app.title').'</title>';

So it should look like this:

public function title($title = null)
{ 
    if ($title == 'no-title') return '<title>'.Config::get('app.title').'</title>';
    if ($title) {
        $title .= ' - '.Config::get('app.title');
    } else {
        $title = Config::get('app.title');
    }

    return '<title>'.$title.'</title>';
}

I noticed my website doesn't have a proper description in search engines

Some pages of your website should have an OpenGraph description. But yes, not the good old <meta name="description" content="whatever"> description.

I expect I have to add this to all the main view pages in app/modules from each page?

Assumed that your code works: yes. I understand that you want to have individual descriptions for particular pages. Then ofcourse you have to implement this for all of these pages.

Thank you!

I noticed the App/Modules/News/Http/Controllers/NewsController notitle change, changes the viewbag title from http://localhost/newsid/newstitle. I wonder if it's possible to remove the News - Website Name to Website Name instead when going to http://localhost/ (just for this index page)

I am 100% sure if I understand what your plan is - but try this:
Open App/Modules/News/Http/Controllers/NewsController. Find the index method (line 16). Add this code at the beginning or the end of the method (I am not sure if it matters so if it does not work in the first place try it the other way):

$this->title('no-title');

Thank you so far! It seems to remove the viewbag title from /news but not from the 'root ' index domain, I have been looking but not sure where it loads this page from

from contentify.

Now I am confused. I guess I missunderstood something but I do not know what.

Did you add this

$this->title('no-title');

to both, the index and the showOverview method?

from contentify.

Yes, that removes the 'News -' from http://www.website.com/news page, and when placing the no-notitle in showoverview it removes the title from http://www.website.com/news/newsid/titleslug. What I would like to achieve is remove the 'News-' from the http://www.website.com/ page. All the changes that i've done to the NewsController so far haven't been able to achieve this yet. Hope you understand me now cause it's hard to explain :)

No offense but I am quite sure that you did not follow my instructions in the right way. 😛

This is how your app/Modules/News/Http/NewsController.php should look like (or at least very similar):
http://pastebin.com/XPmn2i2d

Line 54 is the important line. It's inside the showOverview() method. This method is called when you navigate to your website without navigating to a particular page. Example: http://demo.contentify.org/
So there is no way that this behaviour occurs:

I noticed the App/Modules/News/Http/Controllers/NewsController notitle change, changes the viewbag title from http://localhost/newsid/newstitle

If this happens then I assume you made the wrong change to the code. So compare your NewsController.php to the one I've posted above.

I did indeed make a mistake I was adding it in the show() method instead of the showOverview(). It is working properly now, Thank you!
