    Hello again =)

    I have problems with implementing the application wide layout. Shouldn't it be ./app/views/layout/application.tpl? Because I have such a file and it doesn't seem to be working. Is there some preferences to be edited (there shouldn't be, right?)

    There is no default layout at Akelos. You need to specify the layout you want to use either in by controller or in the application_controller.php file by declaring

    var $layout = "layout/application.tpl";

    or you can name your file as your controller for Akelos to pick it up automatically.

    Hmm.. I've added the line to application_controller.php, but no-go.

    var $layout = 'layouts/application.tpl';

    Strange. Check if the file app/views/layouts/application.tpl exists.

    It exists, is perfectly ok etc. But now it seems to be that if I use

    $this->render('something');

    the application layout won't work. Is there any way to make it work with the render function? And it seems that it doesn't need the

    var $layout = 'layouts/application.tpl';

    in application_controller.php - or anywhere.

    $this->render() is used to send content to the browser as response body, so if you pretend to output some text from your controller try with Ak::trace('somthing') instead of using $this->render('something') and everything should be ok.

    PD. To output an array or object use Ak::debug($YourObject);

    Ok, thanks salavert. That's not exactly what I'm after. I'm after a way to "render" another action, like

    function index()
{
    $this->render('login'); // Trying to make this to render the login.tpl...
}

function login()
{
}

    I know, I'm quite a beginner when it comes to Rails styled code..

    You're looking for this $this->renderAction('login')

    Other ways could be: $this->render(array('action'=>'login')); or $this->redirectToAction('login'); but your url will change to ~/login

    Thank you, salavert! This solved the problem =)

    Although there still exists http://forum.akelos.org/discussion/2/filedirectory-permissions/#Item_26 problem in redirects.

    What is the akelos command for rails <% yield %> ?

    Can someone post a sample of a application.tpl (site wide layout)?

    {content_for_layout}

    You can specifiy a default layout by in application controller with

    var $layout = 'application';

    or

    $this->render(array('action'=>'long_goal','layout'=>'spectacular'));

    only file name, without directory name
    var $layout = 'application.tpl'; !!!

    > var $layout = 'layouts/application.tpl';
