In many examples and documents I generally see that the page title is set via someController->main.blade.php->somePage.blade.php. Something like:
SomeController.php
public function someAction()
{
$title = 'Some Title';
return view('somePage', ['title'=>$title]);
}
main.blade.php
<head>
<title> #section('title') | Page #show </title>
...
somePage.blade.php
#section ('title')
{{$title}} #parent
#endsection
Wouldn't it be mode convenient to set it directly/only over the controller and blade layout file? I mean something like:
SomeController.php
public function someAction()
{
$title = 'Some Title';
return view('somePage', ['title'=>$title]);
}
main.blade.php
<head>
<title>{{ $title }}</title>
...
Wouldn't it be better to use it in that way?
I prefer not to assign the title from the controller - it's content and should be in the template from my point of view. I like to have a section in the template like
//layout file
<title> FancyApp - #yield('title')</title>
// Template
#section('title', 'Page Title')

In my laravel website all pages having same title meta but how to make different title for each page please tell me.
this is my code for dynamic showing in all the pages
<title>{{setting('site.title')}} | {{setting('site.description')}} #if(isset($data->title)) {{$data->title}} #endif</title>
file name is layouts/app.blade.php
Inside your app.blade.php, in the head section.
change:
<title>{{ config('app.name', 'Laravel') }}</title>
to:
<title>#yield('title')</title>
You can choose any name/title that seems fitting.
For other views.blade.php pages,(extending app.blade.php) you can add a title this way:
#section('title','My Title')
this comes after #extends('layouts.app')
You can specify different title for different views.
In you common header file make your title like this:
<title>#yield('page_title', 'Default Title')</title>
Then in your view file change the title to whatever you want it to be set in following way:
#section('page_title')
{{ "Your Title" }}
#endsection
Simply inside your app.blade.php
Put this: #yield('title')
In other pages just extend the layout and put the new title at the this section
#extends('layoutWhateverYouNamedIt')
#section('title')
Type your title here
#endsection
in your controller
public function aboutUs()
{
//page title
$title = 'Project | About Us';
return view('project.about_us', compact('title'));
}
for your view page
<title>{{ $title }}</title>
Inside your app.blade.php,
<head>
#yield('title')
... // other scripts
</head>
For other pages which user app.blade.php you can use it like after extending app.blade.php :
#section('title')
<title> Your Page Title Here </title>
#endsection`
Hope it helps. happy coding.
I have just setup my Laravel 4.2 application and am following some online tutorials about authentication.
The tutorials are telling me to add
protected $layout = "layouts.main";
and then when calling a view, call it like so
$this->layout->content = View::make('users.register');
But, if im following the Laravel website in creating my templates, it tells me to add
#extends('layouts.main')
At the beginning of my users/register view
Do i need to bother about the 2 bits of code i added at the beginning if im using that #extends call?
Im really confused.
Cheers
No, docs don't say you should do that.
You either do define controller layout (a), or return the view which extends layout (b)
A: Controller layout
/**
* The layout that should be used for responses.
*/
protected $layout = 'layouts.master';
/**
* Show the user profile.
*/
public function showProfile()
{
$this->layout->content = View::make('user.profile');
}
B: View extending layout view
// app/views/layout/master.blade.php
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
#yield('header')
</header>
<section>
#yield('content')
</section>
<footer>
#yield('footer')
</footer>
</body>
</html>
// app/views/profile.blade.php
#extends('layout/master')
#section('header')
Header content here
#stop
#section('content')
Master content here
#if (Auth::user()->isAdmin)
#include('admin-panel')
#endif
#stop
#section('footer')
Footer content here
#stop
// Controller
/**
* Show the user profile.
*/
public function showProfile()
{
return View::make('profile');
}
From my previous question, I've gotten this code from a user.
// app/routes.php
Route::get('characters', 'CharactersController#all');
Route::get('characters/{name}', 'CharactersController#detail');
// app/controllers/CharactersController.php
class CharactersController extends BaseController
{
public function all()
{
// show all characters
}
public function detail($name)
{
// find character by name & show detail for example
return View::make('acc.test');
}
}
// app/views/acc/test.blade.php
// HTML::style('css/style.css') loads CSS file located at public/css/style.css
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
{{ HTML::style('css/style.css') }}
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
also, the search function:
<form action="{{ URL::action('CharactersController#search') }}" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search-term">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
public function search()
{
$name = Input::get('search-term');
$searchResult = Character::where('name', '=', $name)->get();
....
}
Route::get('characters/search', 'CharactersController#search');
how could I in the :
public function detail($name) { // find character by name & show detail for example return View::make('acc.test'); }
how could I find the character by name? I've tried doing something like
$name = $player->name
(I have a model called players, I've also changed Character::where to Player::where), what do I have to insert there? also, how could I display it in the view?
So I mean when I search a player by name it displays the players name ($player->name) for every specific player.
Also do I have to change the relations in the model toHasMany or something like that?
You can do it this way
public function detail($name) {
$player = Player::where('name', '=', $name)->first();
}
If more players can have same name I would rather pass ID instead of name, so in this case use this solution
public function detail($id) {
$player = Player::findOrFail($id);
}
I have a question. How could I create subpages (something like this: character.php?name=Xar) but I want it in Laravel. Do I have to create routes? Also to mention, when I create a route like this:
Route::get('account/test', 'HomeController#test');
and the view is in folder under views/aac/test, and the function is like:
public function test()
{
return View::make('aac.test');
}
it won't load the CSS. it's just an HTML page.
back to the problem again, how could I create sites like that? I'm also using Blade templating engine.
// app/routes.php
Route::get('characters', 'CharactersController#all');
Route::get('characters/{name}', 'CharactersController#detail');
// app/controllers/CharactersController.php
class CharactersController extends BaseController
{
public function all()
{
// show all characters
}
public function detail($name)
{
// find character by name & show detail for example
return View::make('acc.test');
}
}
// app/views/acc/test.blade.php
// HTML::style('css/style.css') loads CSS file located at public/css/style.css
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
{{ HTML::style('css/style.css') }}
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Search function
Place search form somewhere in your view file
<form action="{{ URL::action('CharactersController#search') }}" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search-term">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
As specified, search form is submited to CharactersController and its search method.
Controller's method
public function search()
{
$name = Inpute::get('search-term');
$searchResult = Character::where('name', '=', $name)->get();
....
}
Register new route
Route::get('characters/search', 'CharactersController#search');
I am using a fresh build today of Laravel 4.
I have a dashboardController
class DashboardController extends BaseController {
protected $layout = 'layouts.dashboard';
public function index()
{
$this->layout->content = View::make('dashboard.default');
}
}
I have a simple route
Route::get('/', 'DashboardController#index');
I have a blade layout in views/layouts/dashboard.blade.php
For the sake of saving everyone from all of the actual HTML ill use a mock up.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
#yield('content')
</body>
</html>
I have a default blade file in views/dashboard/ that has the following (edited for simplicity)
#section('content')
<p>This is not rocket science</p>
#stop
For some reason the content gets generated before the layout.
I am using a different approach to set the layouts globally to routes using a custom filter. Put the following filter into the app/filters.php
Route::filter('theme', function($route, $request, $response, $layout='layouts.default')
{
// Redirects have no content and errors should handle their own layout.
if ($response->getStatusCode() > 300) return;
//get original view object
$view = $response->getOriginalContent();
//we will render the view nested to the layout
$content = View::make($layout)->nest('_content',$view->getName(), $view->getData())->render();
$response->setContent($content);
});
and now instead of setting layout property in the controller class, you can group the routes and apply the filter as shown below.
Route::group(array('after' => 'theme:layouts.dashboard'), function()
{
Route::get('/admin', 'DashboardController#getIndex');
Route::get('/admin/dashboard', function(){ return View::make('dashboard.default'); });
});
When creating the views, make sure to use the #section('sectionName') in all the sub views and use #yield('sectionName') in the layout views.
I find it easier to do my layout like this for example. I would create my master blade file like so
<html>
<body>
#yield('content');
</body>
</html
And in the blade files that I want to use the master at the top i would put
#extends('master')
then content like so
#section('content')
// content
#stop
Hope this helps.
When you use controller layouts, i.e. $this->layout->..., then you get access to data as variables, not sections. So to access content in your layout you should use...
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $content; ?>
</body>
</html>
And in your partial, you would not use #section or #stop...
<p>This is not rocket science</p>
