Render and return boolean

Yii 1.1 General Discussion

Is there a way so that when a view file doesn’t exists, and using render/renderPartial to return a boolean false instead of throwing an error ?

I have a theme system, and if the view file doesn’t exists in the current theme or module views then i need to load the view file from the default theme.

Try to override CController::getViewFile() method with a custom implementation in your Controller class.




public function getViewFile($viewName)

{

	if ($viewFile = parent::getViewFile($viewName)) {

		return $viewFile;

	} else {

		// code that returns the path to the view file from the default theme

	}

}
