depends on your app. Setting the site in view is simple and and short.
you can be certain which controller and action it gets applied to
the drawback is that if you want to do this in every view (as aposed to a
few)
this will become unwieldy
if you setting titles in your app ctrlr beforeRender then its very easy to
have that code
apply to controller/actions when you don't want it to - or you add a
behemoth switch/case in that function
as an example in my app I have dynamic pages (db stored pages with titles) I
apply the title in pages controller whereas
my users login (and other user views I set the title in the view)
if I did this in app ctrlr and I wanted to add new stuff I would have to
update this function and check that I get the title for corresponding
controller/actions - lots of code
whereas in views/app_users/login.ctp
<?php $this->set('title_for_layout', 'Area 51.667: Authorised Personnel
Only'); ?>
and I know that this title will only be used for the login of app_users.
it not right for all views but it is fine (and saves time) for certain
circumstances.
(perhaps wiser bakers than I will refute this claim)
