I was trying to put into consideration, setting a default layout for a specific module. One may have a blog or admin module with uses a completely different default layout. I am not sure if Zend_Application would suggest us to create "module controller" to extend from because of the namespaced registry (I'm probably wrong, as I only skimmed the proposal). The question is would xend/zend_layout handle setting default module layouts on top of a global default layout or should we create a controller and set the default module layout in init()?
Being able to change a module or even a controllers layout outside of the module would allow modules to less dependent on it's environment. I guess this also depends on how you use zend_layout too, if each action is a "layout section" (menu, body, sidebar), the page content can be changed dynamically rather than having a "layout section" be set by a subrequest in a module etc... It's just a rant, but I would like your thoughts? &-( Matthew Weier O'Phinney-3 wrote: > > -- PotatoBob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote > (on Friday, 17 August 2007, 11:33 PM -0700): >> >> I sure hope default module layouts and a setConfig() feature are added to >> zend_layout :( > > Ralph and I were discussing Zend_Layout yesterday.
