Re: [fw-general] Zend_Layout with nested layout?
I have just done something similiar, as I primarily thought this is what
Zend_Layout would do, basically I have the layout include a common header
and footer.
I know this is going back to the dark ages a little but it seemed like the
simplest fashion, and if you don't want a layout to use the standard header
and footer you simply delete the include from the layout.
I store everything in skins/layoutname and store the common header and
footer in skins/
skins
-- admin
-- default
-- header.php
-- footer.php
So each actual layout is a design in a skin, and the layout path is the
skin. For instance the default would be skins/admin/layout.php But if you
wanted a compact admin skin, you'd change the layout Zend_Layout would look
for to compact thus giving skins/admin/compact.php
Therefore the header/footer system seems to work well:
render('../header.php'); ?>
I don't know if this is perfect and it probably has lots of downsides but it
works for me, I'm interested to hear others takes on 'skinning' with
Zend_Layout. I realise people might be dubious of having designers add the
render call, but they have to add the calls to display content so!

You could probably create a view helper like this:
class My_View_Helper_NestedLayout
{
public function nestedLayout($layoutName)
{
try {
$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
echo $layout->render($layoutName);
}
} catch (Zend_Exception $e) {
$this->view->layout($layoutName);
}
}
public function setView(Zend_View_Interface $view)
{
$this->view = $view;
}
}
add the helper path (see
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.view.helpers.html#zend.view.helpers.custom)
Usage in your main layout (doc.phtml):
...
nestedLayout('content/layout') ?>
...
this would render the layout file 'content/layout.phtml' (relative to your
layout path) at the position where like to render the content.
Please correct me if this might fail in any case!

[fw-general] Zend_Layout with nested layout?
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 and tag stuff and stick strictly to what comes after . 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: http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";> headTitle() ?> headScript() ?> headStyle() ?> layout()->content ?> which includes the following designer layout.phtml in "content": layout()->nav ?> layout()->content ?> which includes the action.phtml template in "content". Thanks. - Jeffrey
