I have a call to a 404 page in a controller: $this->set(‘title’,’Page Not Found’);

I have a call to a 404 page in a controller:

$this->set('title','Page Not Found');
$this->cakeError('error404');

It uses my custom 404 page, but ignores the title. The title gets set to “Error”.

How do you set it?

public.ctp (I’m not using blank)

<?php header('Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8') ;?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
    <?php echo $html->charset('utf-8'); ?>
    <title><?php echo $title_for_layout?></title>

app_controller.php

function beforeRender() {
    if($this->name == 'CakeError') {
        $this->set('title_for_layout', 'Page Not Found');
        $this->layout = 'public';
    }
}

action

$this->pageTitle = 'Page Not Found';
$this->cakeError('error404');

    I just answered this question in another topic.

    You’ll have to create an error.php in your app’s root with the following code:

    <?php
class AppError extends ErrorHandler  {
    function error404($params) {
        $this->controller->set('title_for_layout', 'Your Title');
        parent::error404($params);
    }
}
