Akelos Programming: Pass data from controller to layout

1 to 4 of 4

- CommentAuthortuntis
How do I pass data to a layout from a controller? No matter what I try, it doesn't seem to work.

(oh, and some real documentation would be nice)

Just do
```
$this->MyVar = "here we go";
```
in a controller.

Now you can
```
echo $MyVar; 
```
in the view.

Does anybody know how I can invoke method from the controller in layout? The method returns some value.
For ex. the method is.

class ApplicationController extends AkActionController
{
var $layout = 'page';
var $user_details_session_name = 'user_details';

function isUserInRoleAdmin(){
$user = $_SESSION($this->user_details_session_name);
if(!empty($user) && (!empty($user['usert_type_id'])) && $user['usert_type_id'] == 1){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}
}
}

$controller->isUserInRoleAdmin();
