Re: Additional layout placeholders?
If the left handed content is static, you can add the content in the
layout through renderElement('the-element'), ?>. This
element must be in app/views/elements/the-element.thtml as a simple
html.
If the left handed content is dinamically generated, you need to
insert it through requestAction('/mycontrollers/
myfunction'); ?>. In mycontrollers controller you must have:
function myfunction() {
$this->layout = 'blank';
// Here you controll and send the content to app/views/
mycontrollers/myfunction.thtml
}
Note the $this->layout='blank'; It just use an empty layout so you
don't paste the headers and other content of the original layout in
the left handed element. The last thing you must do is create
blank.thtml in app/views/layouts/. The content is just:
Hope this helps, sorry for my poor english!

AFAIK, you could insert elements in your layout via
echo $this->element ('elementName');
so, you could have your "containers" in the layout, and fill them
with elements, and the $content_for_layout for the output of the
actual controller/action.
(I've read about other ways to achieve similar results to solve some
performance issues)

Re: Additional layout placeholders?
Ok, I think I get it. So then in my views I would have the html for my two columns with the forms or whatever on the left and then within that view I would include the element or elements that I want to show up on this page (specifically the section options). Sounds like I might have to replicate a little more HTML than I would like but I think it could work. Thanks for the help!

Re: Additional layout placeholders?
I agree, I've found elements to be an excellent way to reproduce content on multiple pages. In the series of applications we're working on now, the default layout displays an element that produces navigation based on data obtained from the controller (tabs across the top).

You might consider using the view as a vehicle to display elements. Use requestAction() to grab data from a controller, and hand that data to dynamic elements, if you need. -- John --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.

Re: Additional layout placeholders?
If I understand what you're saying... the only "built-in" content variable is $content_for_layout which comes from the output from the currently-executing view. However, layouts have access to the variables that you set in your controller with $this->set() -- so you may be able to achieve the functionality you're looking for that way. Also, consider the after/before filters for defining additional separate-from-controller content to be included.

Additional layout placeholders?
I'm very new to cake and just read the documentation on layouts. My particular app has two main content areas... one for the views on the right and another for section navigation on the left. After reading the documentation it sounds like I only have access to one content area within the layout, is this true? Can I make additional placeholders in the layout? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
