How to use a module’s layout within the application layout?
If I have:
<div>
this is views/layouts/main.php
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>
Then when ?r=mymodule/foo/bar is called, the above $content should get the output generated by the mymodule layout:
<div>
this is modules/mymodule/views/layouts/main.php
<?php echo $content; ?>
</div>
where the above $content gets it value from modules/mymodule/views/foo/bar.php with the help of FooController::actionBar().
So note, nesting is wanted, not overwriting the global (application’s) layout.
Say the modules/mymodule/controllers/FooController::actionBar() action generates the output "Hello world", the entire output should look like this:
<div>
this is views/layouts/main.php
<div>
this is modules/mymodule/views/layouts/main.php
Hello world
</div>
</div>
