Because we required a method to have internationalized titles and this soon became very cumbersome und cludgy :) But well, a few code examples say more than a thousand words: # in the layout ... <title><%= h page_title %></title> ... # then in the translations: en: contacts: index: title: "All contacts" Thats it. So if /contacts/ is called and then the view contacts/ index.html.erb is rendered, the title "All contacts" is used. To customize the title e.g. to display the contacts name in contacts/ show.html.erb do: # in contacts/show.html.erb <h1><%= h page_title { @contact.name } %></h1> It also features some options to change the format, add custom parts to the output etc. It can be installed as a gem, plugin or git submodule -> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://github.com/lwe/page_title_helper">http://github.com/lwe/page_title_helper</a> If you find any issues or problems, I'm sure there are :) just drop me a line or create a ticket on github. Note: this plugin has only been tested and used on Rails 2.3.x. Grüsse, Lukas PS: For those interested: internally the method from railscasts is used to set custom titles. PPS: More examples and a description of all options can be found on github PPPS: It's small LOC = 60, has tests (but Code to Test Ratio is only 1:1.4) and 100% code coverage. PPPPS: Finally some bad news: it relies on some Rails internals to e.g. obtain the first renderer etc., so if those change the plugin might break... so if anyone knows better alternatives (check read_first_render_path and read_page_title_content_block methods)... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
