Of course is it possible.

app/views/layout/main.php

Between the <head></head> tags.




// change $this->title to whatever you want as title

<title><?= Html::encode($this->title) ?></title>

In the view file you’ll see something like :


$this->title = 'About';

This sets the browser windows title (or tab title) to ‘About’.

If you need the name of the app to be there (and just change the second part of the title, so the action name):

In your controller (override the setPageTitle method):




public function setPageTitle($value){

		$this->pageTitle=Yii::app()->name." - ".$value;

	}

and then set the title in each Action, example:




public function actionCreate()

	{

		$this->pageTitle = "New Title";

...

...

...

The result will be:

App Name - New Title

  1. Edit file index.php which reside in /views/site/
  2. Change this code :
<?php

/* @var $this yii\web\View */
use yii\helpers\Html;
use app\assets\PkdAsset;

$this->title = 'InvoiceMangement';
?>
  1. Refresh and reload page
