[Solved]How To Create A Always Visible Layout?

Yii 1.1 General Discussion
1

Good afternoon.

I’ve the default Yii structure for layouts:

main.php

column1.php

column2.php

I need a left menu that is displayed if the user is logged.

  • If I add this menu to column2.php, not shown is I use column1.php.

  • If I add this menu to main.php, the appearance of the page changes.

Would I have to create another layout and put there? How I can do that?

I don’t understand how to launch the action to load the menu if I create other layout.

It could be in SiteController.php overriding beforeAction?

Regards!

Hi lagogz

first of all I didn’t understand the phrase

"If I add this menu to column2.php, not shown is I use column1.php."

You have to use column2 to show your menu. If you do not want the menu in other cases then set a condition for that like


if(!Yii::app()->user->isGuest) {

$this->menu=array(

	array('label'=>'menu1', 'url'=>array('index')),

	array('label'=>'menu2', 'url'=>array('index2')),

);

} else {

$this->menu= array();

}

Thanks for reply, KonApaz.

I don’t understand that phrase neither…jejejejeje.

I did something similar.

I put the menu in main.php with this condition and I modified the CSS and ready.

Regards.
