i dont get why the new controller im making which is rendering a file in an action does not seem to have the same layout in content like yii generates automatically, the site/index, just like contact and about have their content a bit centered in the content, like some padding or margin, but when i make a new controller, it does look the same, looks a bit ugly being stick to the line where the content begins.
heres the new controller im making:
<?php
class ToolsController extends CController
{
// -----------------------------------------------------------
// Uncomment the following methods and override them if needed
/*
public function filters()
{
// return the filter configuration for this controller, e.g.:
return array(
'inlineFilterName',
array(
'class'=>'path.to.FilterClass',
'propertyName'=>'propertyValue',
),
);
}
public function actions()
{
// return external action classes, e.g.:
return array(
'action1'=>'path.to.ActionClass',
'action2'=>array(
'class'=>'path.to.AnotherActionClass',
'propertyName'=>'propertyValue',
),
);
}
*/
public function actionIndex()
{
$this->render('index');
}
}
and its just rendering this:
<h1>hello</h1>
heres the layout:
<?php /* @var $this Controller */ ?>
