Rails 3 - Ideal way to set title of pages

Question

Whats the proper way to set the page title in rails 3. Currently I\'m doing the following:

app/views/layouts/application.html:

Answer 1

There are already some good answers, but I'll add my simple approach. Add this to layouts/application.html

- if content_for?(:title)
  -title = "My site | #{content_for(:title)}"
-else
  -title = "My site | #{controller_name.titleize}"

You automagically get a nice names on all your views like "My site | Posts" -- or whatever the controller happens to be.

Of course, you can optionally set a title on a view by adding:

- content_for(:title, 'About')

and get a title like "My site | About".
