Question

I am using CakePHP 1.3

I have a static page called temp.ctp located at app/views/pages/temp.ctp.

It is accessible from my site like: localhost/pages/temp

I am trying to set the page title from the view.

I have tried putting each of the following inside the temp.ctp file:

<?php $this->set("title_for_layout","Temp Temp Temp"); ?>

and

<? $this->pageTitle = 'Temp Temp Temp'; ?>

The entire file looks like this:

<?php $this->set("title_for_layout","Temp Temp Temp"); ?>


Hello World temp

And is using the default layout (for header and footer) that ships with cakephp 1.3.

Neither of which have worked. What is the correct way to do this?

According to a thread on the CakePHP Google Group, it should be possible to use $this->set("title_for_layout","Temp"); directly in your view – in CakePHP 1.3 that is, 1.2 uses this->pageTitle = "Temp";

According to a ticket, the pages controller still uses the $title instead of $title_for_layout though, so try that:

$this->set("title","Temp");
