Rails - 从实例变量（控制器或视图？）设置布局中的标题

Question

Let's say I have something like this in my application layout:

<title> <%= @page_title | MyPage </title>

I am wondering where is it better to set that instance variable. In the controller action, or in the view ? Does it matter at all? I am asking in both performance and closest MVC way of doing it.

Answer 1

Rails encourages the use content_for in your views to pass this kind of content around. Others may have a better sense of how efficient this approach is, however.

Answer 2

I'll recomend you to use meta-tags gem . You can easily set title set_meta_tags :title => 'Member Login' and other SEO options like meta and etc.
