Multiple layouts with module

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Ok… I just can’t wrap my head around that.

I’m working for the website of a client, I have 6 pages.

I want 5 pages to use lets say layout:"main",

and one page to use

[list=1]

[*]Module:"my_Module"

[*]Layout:"big_main"

[/list]

Now when I try the obvious:


$this->layout='big_main';

inside the default view of my module;

It renders only the "Module" content WITHOUT any layout whatsoever "main" nor "big_main"

Just a blank page with all the elements of my modules spreaded around. <_<

[font="Arial Black"]Question:[/font]

How can I make my module work with a different external layout?

Thank you for your time :D

The application is not finding your layout. Try setting an explicit path:




    $this->layout='webroot.themes.mytheme.views.layouts.big_main';
