How to set the Page Title in Yii Framework 1.1.x?

Question: How to set the Page Title in Yii Framework 1.1.x?

Answer:

In your main layout file always have the following code between the title tag in order to display the title

<title><?php echo CHtml::encode($this->pageTitle); ?></title>

You can set the title in your Controller or View files by using something similar like

$this->pageTitle = 'My new page title';

NOTES:

• In the controller if the Page Title is not set Yii defaults the Page Title to the Controller and Action name
• The easiest way to set the Page Title is by setting it within your view files 'Everybody has there own choice of preference'
• The Page Title won't display if not echoed between the title tag eg.

  <title><?php echo CHtml::encode($this->pageTitle); ?></title>
