I can't set the title of a page no matter what I have tried to put in my .html.erb file
>rails new testblah >bundle install <-- not necessary here but anyway. >rails generate controller abc def > rails s I go to http://127.0.0.1:3000 and I see the default template view .\app\views\abc\def.html.erb But even when I put <title>asdf</title> it doesn't change the title. Even if I do <html><head><title>asdf</title></head><body></body></html> it doesn't change the title. If I go to the rendered HTML of the page, I can see what it's doing.. Suppose my .\app\views\abc\def.html.erb is <html> <head><title>aaaaa</title></head> <body></body> </html> What gets rendered is this <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <title>Test15</title> <meta name="csrf-param" content="authenticity_token" /> <meta name="csrf-token" content=" bDkNOUtlUKmlo1uzMRTqzCUCzBLX0q4/0NM8OfSXccoHocfYeZNFe+TsR8a4wvZhKakKRlXbU+NjWsnp4hNfXg==" /> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href=" /assets/abc.self-e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855.css?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/abc.self-e3b0c44298fc1c149afbf4c8996fb92427ae41e4649b934ca495991b7852b855.css?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload" /> <link rel="stylesheet" media="all" href=" /assets/application.self-f0d704deea029cf000697e2c0181ec173a1b474645466ed843eb5ee7bb215794.css?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/application.self-f0d704deea029cf000697e2c0181ec173a1b474645466ed843eb5ee7bb215794.css?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload" /> <script src=" /assets/rails-ujs.self-817d9a8cb641f7125060cb18fefada3f35339170767c4e003105f92d4c204e39.js?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/rails-ujs.self-817d9a8cb641f7125060cb18fefada3f35339170767c4e003105f92d4c204e39.js?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script> <script src=" /assets/turbolinks.self-2db6ec539b9190f75e1d477b305df53d12904d5cafdd47c7ffd91ba25cbec128.js?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/turbolinks.self-2db6ec539b9190f75e1d477b305df53d12904d5cafdd47c7ffd91ba25cbec128.js?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script> <script src=" /assets/abc.self-877aef30ae1b040ab8a3aba4e3e309a11d7f2612f44dde450b5c157aa5f95c05.js?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/abc.self-877aef30ae1b040ab8a3aba4e3e309a11d7f2612f44dde450b5c157aa5f95c05.js?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script> <script src=" /assets/action_cable.self-69fddfcddf4fdef9828648f9330d6ce108b93b82b0b8d3affffc59a114853451.js?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/action_cable.self-69fddfcddf4fdef9828648f9330d6ce108b93b82b0b8d3affffc59a114853451.js?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script> <script src=" /assets/cable.self-8484513823f404ed0c0f039f75243bfdede7af7919dda65f2e66391252443ce9.js?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/cable.self-8484513823f404ed0c0f039f75243bfdede7af7919dda65f2e66391252443ce9.js?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script> <script src=" /assets/application.self-eba3cb53a585a0960ade5a8cb94253892706bb20e3f12097a13463b1f12a4528.js?body=1 <http://127.0.0.1:3000/assets/application.self-eba3cb53a585a0960ade5a8cb94253892706bb20e3f12097a13463b1f12a4528.js?body=1>" data-turbolinks-track="reload"></script> </head> <body> <html> <head><title>aaaaa</title></head> <body></body> </html> </body> </html> So, what it is doing is rails is taking its own template then it dumps my template into its <body></body> So the title isn't getting set -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
