Headliner
========= Headliner DRYs up your page titles.
Background
Normally, if your Rails application has lots of actions and a shared layout, you might find yourself setting custom page title names in your controllers.
Here’s an example:
class PagesController < ApplicationController def about @title = “About us” end end
Then, in your main layout, you might have something like this:
<head> <title>My website<% if @title >: <= @title >< end %></title> </head><head> <%= title :site => “My website” %> </head>
Then, to set the page title, add this to each of your views:
<%= title “My page title” %>
When views are rendered, the page title will be included in the right spots:
<head> <title>My website | My page title</title> </head> <body> My page title </body>
Options
Use these options to customize the title format:
:prefix (text between site name and separator) :separator (text used to separate website name from page title) :suffix (text between separator and page title) :lowercase (when true, the page name will be lowercase) :reverse (when true, the page and site names will be reversed)
And here are a few examples to give you ideas.
<%= title :separator => ”—README and so the formatting may need updating to make browser friendly
