I cannot set title_for_layout on the default PagesController that comes by default with cakephp 1.3.
I am using the following code on the display function:
$this->set('title_for_layout','some title');
What am I doing wrong ???

A:
In your controller, the corresponding value is $this->pageTitle.
UPDATE
Oops, as noted in the comments, this is the 1.2 solution. 1.3 possibilities (after doing some research) include:
- Ensuring that
$title_for_layoutis being echoed in the layout - Placing the
$this->set()code in the view rather than in the controller

As an addition: you can also set this value in the corresponding View which would be even more MVC

Sorry guys but $this->PageTitle is for cakephp 1.2 and not for 1.3 in my knowledge. In any case when used in cakephp 1.2 produces an error.

Apologies. I missed the 1.3 specification in your question if that wasn't part of an edit. It does look like that's gone away in 1.3 (http://book.cakephp.org/view/1561/Migrating-from-CakePHP-1-2-to-1-3). I haven't used 1.3 yet, but a read of the docs indicates that what you're doing should work if the rest of the context is correct.

At the risk of stating the obvious, are you echoing the `$title_for_layout` variable in your actual layout? e.g. `<title><?php echo $title_for_layout; ?></title>`?

Looks like the solution was to put the $this->set() code in the view and not in the controller.
