Hi All,
I'm just playing with Zend_Layout and have a quick question. What I'd
like to do is have a three part view. I'd like my designer to design a
wrapper "template" that consists of the markup surrounding the output
of action views. This is exactly what Zend_Layout does so perfect! but
if possible I'd like the designer templates to exclude the doctype,
head and <html> and <body> tag stuff and stick strictly to what comes
after <body>. That way designers don't need to worry about the non-
design stuff.
The question is how to wrap the head and whatnot around the layout?
I thought of extending the ViewRendered render() method to accomplish
this, which would work, however I wasn't sure if there was a native
way to have a Zend_Layout within a Zend_Layout so that I could have:
doc.phtml:
<!DOCTYPE html
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;
charset=utf-8" />
<title><?= $this->headTitle() ?></title>
<?= $this->headScript() ?>
<?= $this->headStyle() ?>
</head>
<body>
<?= $this->layout()->content ?>
</body>
</html>
which includes the following designer layout.phtml in "content":
<div id="content">
<!-- renders /nav/menu -->
<div id="nav"><?= $this->layout()->nav ?></div>
<!-- renders /foo/index + /comment/fetch -->
<div id="content"><?= $this->layout()->content ?></div>
</div>
which includes the action.phtml template in "content".
Thanks.
