In my layout file I have 

<head>
  <title><%= @title %></title>
</head>

And in my show file: 

<% @title = Item.name %>

The problem is that in the page title there is added | Myappname instead of just the Item name

How do I remove the app name in page title?

    You should define @title in the controller action instead of view. Instead of defining it in show file, you should define it in show method.

    def show
  @title = Item.name
  ...
end

    This is because, the show file is evaluated after rendering the layout application.html.erb, so defining @title afterwards in the show view file will not affect the @tilte in the application.html layout.
