Dynamic page titles in Symfony 1.4

Question

I'm wondering if anyone's got any good advice/experience regarding setting dynamic meta titles in Symfony? Currently, the solution I'm aware of would be to use the following code to set a title individidually in each action: ``` $this->getResponse()->setTitle('This is a title'); ``` Because I also need translated titles, I could call the i18n helper in the action to get them included in the extracted XLIFFs. No special SEO stuff needed, just a clean title. However, the above does require that I tweak every single action separately. View.yml is not suitable as I frequently have multiple actions/templates per module. Is anyone aware of a better approach in Symfony or is this indeed the right/only way to go? Thank you.

Accepted Answer

I think writing separate titles in every action is OK. But if you want to add some global prefix you can use something like this in layout: ``` SITE NAME — <?= $sf_response->getTitle() ?> ``` Also you can probably manipulate a title per module using preExecute() method in actions.
