How to change page title in CakePHP 2.5?

Question

From 2.5 Migration Guide:

$title_for_layout is deprecated. Use $this->fetch('title'); and $this->assign('title', 'your-page-title'); instead.

They work in Views, but what to do in Controller? Using $this->assign() throws Fatal error.

Answer 1

Use

$this->set('title_for_layout', 'List User');

inside controller.

Answer 2

You have to use

$this->assign('title',$title); 

in view files.

In layout, You can also use

$this->fetch('title', $title); 

to set the title

You can use $this->set('title_for_layout',$title); but you should not as it will be removed very soon
