Multiple Default Layout?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Basically, in Yii there is main.php that will render the main layout structure including header, sidebar, mainmenu, content section and footer. Other layouts called column1 or 2 just contain the view of content section in the main layout. But now Im bored with this main.php and would like to use another one. I create main1.php that put it in the layouts folder, so how can I set it as default layout or how can I use it as main layout? Can I use both main.php and main1.php?

Take a look at column1.php or column2.php. These templates calls main.php:




<?php /* @var $this Controller */ ?>

<?php $this->beginContent('//layouts/main'); ?>

...

<?php $this->endContent(); ?>

So take your myNewMain.php. Create your own myNewColumn1.php with:




<?php /* @var $this Controller */ ?>

<?php $this->beginContent('//layouts/myNewMain'); ?>

...

<?php $this->endContent(); ?>

and in your controller set as default layout myNewColumn1.
