Re: Variating right menu based on content
You'd be better off modifying the helper - just initialize the chunks
you want to an empty string:
class ChunksHelper extends AppHelper {
var $buffer = array(
'header' = '',
'sidebar' = '',
'something' = ''
);
}
Now you can just call
?php echo $something_for_layout; ?
in the view, because it will always be set.

Re: Variating right menu based on content
Um, this might be kinda hacky, but I'm using the following currently
and it functions fine for me. In my default layout:
div id=sidebar
echo @$this-element('sidebars/' . $this-params['controller'] .
'/' . $this-params['action']);
/div
So I have, for example, \elements\sidebars\requests and \elements
\sidebars\announcements etc. with search.ctp and view.ctp. So if I am
at site/requests/search the \elements\sidebars\requests\search.ctp
sidebar is rendered. If at site/requests/index, then the render fails
silently and no one knows but me. Probably could be more elegant and
correct with an if (file exists), I should probably do that someday.

Re: Variating right menu based on content
Checking for empty chunks in the layout is not very handy because
there's too much code in layout.
Too much code in layout = harder migration/implementation on new
layouts
I'm trying to do those checks before the layout rendering
so the only code in layouts will be
?php $something_for_layout ?
What about checking Chunks in AppController's beforeFilter() ?

Indeed, the beforeLayout() callback doesn't seem to work.
If works if you put it in afterRender()

Thanks for the reply.
I followed your suggestions but i can't get the code work.
No errors but also no outputs :\
BTW i modified a little bit the layout code

Re: Variating right menu based on content
Uhm... if i check for empty chunks before the layout render (for
example in App_Controller)?
the only code in layout will be something like
?php $something_for_layout ?
it will be easier to change layout in future.
am i right?

If it's the same header on every view, just call it in the layout.
If, on the other hand, it's the same header in MOST views, use the
chunks helper as above:
some_view.ctp:
?php $chunks-begin('header'); ?
This will end up in the header
?php $chunks-end(); ?
your_layout.ctp:
?php
if (!empty($header_for_layout)) {
// A header has been defined in the view, so show it
echo $header_for_layout;}
else {
// No header has been defined; use the default one
echo $this-element('default_header');}
?
elements/default_header.ctp:
This is the default header
Easy, huh?

How can i do? using AppController?

The right menu should change his html code based on the current view.

So... is there any better way? :)

}
else {
$this-buffer[$this-chunkId] = $contents;
}
$this-chunkId = false;
}
}
function beforeLayout() {
$View = ClassRegistry::getObject('View');
foreach($this-buffer as $key = $value) {
$View-set($key . '_for_layout', $value);
}
}
}
Then in your view:
?php $chunks-begin('rightbar'); ?
This will end up in the right bar
?php $chunks-end(); ?
(The code might need a bit of modifying; I just wrote it quickly, but
the idea is sound. You'll definitely want to add error-checking)

Hello all.
First time posting here.
I have a 3-column layout where the 3rd column is intended to be a
menu.
here's the code
html xmlns=http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml; lang=en xml:lang=en
head
?php
echo $scripts_for_layout;
echo $html-css(green, stylesheet);
?
titleErny - ?php echo $title_for_layout; ?/title
/head
body
div id=container
div id=header?php echo $header_for_layout;
?/div
div id=leftbar?php echo $leftbar_for_layout;
?/div
div id=rightbar?php echo $rightbar_for_layout;
?/div
div id=content?php echo $content_for_layout;
?/div
div id=footer?php echo $footer_for_layout;
?/div
/div
/body
/html
The right menu should change his html code based on the current view.
I googled a lot but the only way i found is to use a Helper inside the
controller... that's not very MVC-ish...
So... is there any better way? :)
Thanks in advance.
