Re: Change Layout in action

[Brian Lawler]

One thing we are doing right now to have this sort of impact on the  
layout is to have the Default.vm layout be nothing more than an if/else  
statement, like so:

#if($userWantsFirstLayout)
  #parse("layouts/FirstLayout.vm")
#else
  #parse("layouts/TheOtherLayout.vm")
#end
In this way, the session selected is some variable that may be defined  
by the user (or in our case, by the screen) but you don't have to do  
anything too unnatural to get there.  In our case, we are transitioning  
our whole site from a not-so-CSS based approach to a very CSS based  
approach, and rather than have to big bang the whole thing in we are  
trasitioning the screens a group at a time and setting some variable in  
the screen itself in order to decide which layout to use.

Hi Scott,
what would suggest, if the user should be able to change his layout by  
a mouse click?

Thanks

That should work...  Try using: "/NewLayout.vm" ?
Henning is going to flip out when he sees this - you are breaking one  
of
the two golden rules for using templates with Turbine - see:
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2.3/services/template- 
service.html

(under the Usage heading).
I personally don't set any layouts from actions, but looking at the
JavaDoc I would say that in an action you should probably use:
     data.setLayout("NewLayout.vm");
The setLayoutTemplate() method is for changing the layout from within
the template itself (i.e. within the vm file for the template whose
layout you are changing).
