Question

I cannot set title_for_layout in the PagesController that comes by default with CakePHP 1.3.

I am using the following code in the display function:

$this->set( title_for_layout , some title );

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

In your controller, the corresponding value is $this->pageTitle.

UPDATE

Oops, as noted in the comments, this is the 1.2 solution. 1.3 possibilities (after doing some research) include:

Ensuring that $title_for_layout is being echoed in the layout
Placing the $this->set() code in the view rather than in the controller

Answer 2

If you d like to mimic the behavior of cake 1.2, you can do the following:

In your app_controller, create the following method:

in app/app_controller.php (you may need to create this file if you haven t already)

public $pageTitle;

public function beforeRender() {
    $this->set( title_for_layout , $this->pageTitle);
}

Then in any of your action methods, you may then use the pageTitle as you would in 1.2.

public function index() {
    $this->pageTitle =  Some Title ;
}

The beforeRender() method will be called after your controllers have finished processing, but prior to the layout being rendered, thus allowing you to set variables for the layout.

Answer 3

In the action method, try this:

function index()
{
    $this->pageTitle=  Your Title ;
}

Answer 4

Just thought I d add to any new people finding this solution, you can do $this->set( title , $title); in CakePHP 1.3 inside the controller and the title will be rendered automatically.

Answer 5

You can use :

$this->assign( title ,  Some title );

and in ctp :

<title><?= $this->fetch( title ); ?></title>

It work in CakePHP 3.0

Answer 6

For CakePHP 3.x,

you can follow the advice here

Essentially,

Inside UsersController.php:

$this->set( title ,  Login );

Inside src/Template/Layouts/default.ctp

above the $this->fetch( title );

write:

if (isset($title)) {
    $this->assign( title , $title); 
}

Answer 7

Use beforeRender() instead. Put the following in AppController:

class AppController extends Controller {
    var $content;

    function beforeRender() {
        $this->set( content ,$this->content);
    }            
}

And in the controller, you can just do:

function index() {
    $this->content[ title ] =  123 ; }

That ll do the trick.
