I have methods that set a title for the browser and for the page

  • 0

I have methods that set a title for the browser and for the page itself. On my Devise pages I would like to set these two methods but am not sure how to.

My Code:

helpers/application_helper

def title # for entire application
    base_title = "Testing"
  if @title.nil?
    base_title
  else
    "#{base_title} - #{@title}"
  end
end

def page_title # for page header partial
   "#{@page_title}"
end

views/layouts/application

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
   <head>
      <title><%= title %></title>
      <%= csrf_meta_tag %>
      <%= favicon_link_tag %>
      <%= stylesheet_link_tag "application" %>
      <%= javascript_include_tag "application" %>
   </head>
   <body>
      <div id="container">
         <%= render "shared/page_header" %>
         <%= render "shared/flash_message" %>
         <%= yield %>
      </div>
   </body>
</html>

views/shared/_page_header

<% unless @page_title.blank? %>
  <div id="page-header">
    <span><%= @page_title %></span>
  </div>
<% end %>

Now I have a RegistrationsController to override the functionality whenever I need to but as it inherits to the DeviseController, I don’t think it can get to the Application Helper? I also tried to put this same code in the Registration Helper but that didn’t work either. What should I do?

    Maybe you can use;

    application_helper.rb

    module ApplicationHelper
  def title(page_title)
    content_for(:title) { page_title }
  end
end

    application.html.erb

    <title><%= yield :title %></title>

    view

    <%= title "Your page title here" %>
