I've used this tutorial to highlight the current page in the menu. I have a pages controller with a few static pages, for the home page I simply have
def home
@title = 'Home'
and similar for contact pages etc.
Then in my main layout file I have <body class="<%= @title %>">
and this works fine to set the correct css, but how do I set @title for my other controllers where there's more than one action?

A:
You can use before_filter on a controller
class Home < ActionController::Base
before_filter :highlight
def index
#...
end
private
def highlight
@title = "Home"
end
end
