Rails - Mar 2006 - simple output string

Hi!

I am new to Rails and wanted to know how I can print an easy 
string-line.
I wanted to generate a dynamic title for my blog articles made with 
"typo":

The first part of the html-title stays the same:

<title>softrockcookie</title>

if it is not the mainpage ("softrockcookie") it shall add the 
page_title, so:

<title>softrockcookie <%= page_title unless page_title == 
"softrockcookie" %></title>

it worked so far...

and now, to seperate the two parts i wanted a double-doublepoint
("::"),
but couldn''t implement it yet. however, I tried it that way and got an 
error:

<title>softrockcookie
  <%= unless page_title == "softrockcookie"
             print " :: "
             page_title
      end
   %>

no clue how to do it the right way... could you please help a poor noob? 
thank you!

you can never use a print or puts method in an ERB template (or  
anywhere else in Rails for that matter).

To achieve what you''re asking, you could, eg, interpolate the  
page_title variable like this:

<title>softrockcookie<%= " :: #{page_title}" unless
page_title ="softrockcookie" %></title>
