If you enable admin routing you don't need to worry about any of that.
When turned on the admin routing allows you to add actions to your
controllers that have the "admin_" prefix. ( I am not sure if the required
prefix for the function names changes if you use a different admin name than
"admin" in the core.config file.
So in a controller
function index( )
{
...
}
function admin_index( )
{
...
// set your layout
var $layout = 'admin';
}
the first would render the default layout and the
/controller_name/index.thtml view file
the second would render the /views/layouts/admin.thtml layout and the
/controller_name/admin_index.thtml view file
I hope this helps clear the issue up somewhat.
