I use the layout in my application but do have times where I need to change or disable it.
To disable the layout in a controller this works, Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->disableLayout(); To change the layout from in any controller without a lot of code changes. // can adjust the layout path using Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayoutPath('new-path-here'); // will use the layout path setting (loads account_base_page.phtml) Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->setLayout('account_base_page'); // assign var to layout directly Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->assign('title', 'this is a title'); To display the title var in the layout template, use the following: echo $this->layout()->title; Terre ________________________________ From: Peter Warnock [mailto:petewarn...@gmail.com] Sent: Saturday, September 05, 2009 12:51 PM To: Matthew Lurz Cc: fw-general@lists.zend.com Subject: Re: [fw-general] Using Zend Layout for module not main application In a 1-off scenario, I prefer method 3.

Just wanted to throw those out there though if it were me I think I would prefer 1 or 2.
