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.
Layout is evaluated before your show file. That is why @title = Item.name doesn't affect to your html page title.
I think you should check this: Rails: How to change the title of a page?
check if there's a filter in your ApplicationController.rb pushing your app name in @title
