Get page titles with smarty

[Coachonko]

I can get links to pages with the following smarty tags 

{$link->getPageLink('contact')|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
{$link->getCategoryLink(4)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}
{$link->getCmsLink(9)|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}

Is there a way to get page titles instead of having to use the {l s='title'} tags?

It's doable, but not very friendly. Look what static methods are available in Meta class. You could you getMetaByPage, or getCategoryMetas or getCmsMetas

{assign var='contactMeta' value=Meta::getMetaByPage('contact', $lang_id)}
{assign var='categoryMeta' value=Meta::getCategoryMetas(4, $lang_id, 'category')}
{assign var='cmsMeta' value=Meta::getCmsMetas(9, $lang_id, 'cms')}
<pre>
  contact title = {$contactMeta.title}
  category title = {$categoryMeta.meta_title}
  cms title = {$cmsMeta.meta_title}
</pre>

Thanks! This can be very useful when there is a large amount of these links, dynamically getting title is much faster than editing translations.

contactMeta works perfectly

categoryMeta works but it seems like thirty bees appends the name of the website to the title, so the output should be processed.

The cmsMeta doesn't seem to work.

If how do you fetch the name of the page instead of the meta title?
