OK, so the main ui template seems to have support for a title variable. This is the one you want to set.

Looking at Act::News, that seems to collect all the news items (from the news_item table) into a hash keyed by language. I think the main title and text methods are actually incorrect. They look like the following (in lib/Act/News.pm):

sub title { $_[0]{title} }
sub text  { $_[0]{text}  }

but in fact, these would be empty/undef, because the actual title and text are under the items hash.

Therefore I would suggest replacing those by:

sub title { $_[0]{items}{$Request{language}}{title} }
sub title { $_[0]{items}{$Request{language}}{text} }

to provide auto-localization. This has the drawback of adding a dependency on $Request{language}, which is probably undesirable. And since those methods are not used anywhere (because there are broken), we might as well just remove them.

The real issue here is to set the title template variable. Individual news items are shown using the news/item template and handled by the Act::Handler::News::Edit handler (which also shows them, it seems).

Template variables are set using this line:

$template->variables( %$fields );

So we need to fill in the news item title, properly localized.

At lib/Act/Handler/News/Edit.pm line 135, we see this:

    if (exists $Request{args}{news_id}) {                                 
        $fields = { %$news };                                             
        $fields->{items} = $news->items;                                  
    }

We can simply add the title with this line:

        $fields->{title} = $news->{items}{ $Request{language} }{title};

As an aside, setting $fields->{items} directly is probably not needed, since there is already an items key in $news.

HTML title of a news entry should be the news title (not only "News") #44
