How to use a single @layout for all modules

simonjcarr

Not sure if am missing something, but it seems that I have put a copy of @layout.latte in the templates directory of every module. But if I decide to change my site layout, I might have 50 files to update.

Is there a way I can put put a @layout.latte file in the Modules folder so that all modules use one layout file.

The only way I have found to do it so far is to include this line in all my views, but it is not very nice.

{layout '../../../../@layout.latte'}

This uses the file app\modules\@layout.latte

Is there a better way?

Just override formatLayoutTemplateFiles method in your base presenter like this:

public function formatLayoutTemplateFiles()
{
	return ['path/to/@layout.latte'];
}

I have now have the following code in /app/presenters/BasePresenter.php

<?php

namespace App\Presenters;

use Nette;
use App\Model;


/**
 * Base presenter for all application presenters.
 */
abstract class BasePresenter extends Nette\Application\UI\Presenter
{
      public function formatLayoutTemplateFiles()
        {
            return ["/app/modules/@layout.latte"];
        }

}

But the layout is not being used.

Also when I tried to use protected instead of public, I got the following error

Access level to App\Presenters\BasePresenter::formatLayoutTemplateFiles() must be public

oh, sorry I didn't noticed it must be public. So just change the “protected” to the “public”. And using “/app” will probably not work, use path relative to the location of the base presenter, e.g __DIR__ . '/../modules/@layout'

Very strange,

Overriding the formatLayoutTemplateFiles method does not seem to work, however if I change the code in core to include the my folder in the returned array it does work.

/**
	 * Formats layout template file names.
	 * @return array
	 */
	public function formatLayoutTemplateFiles()
	{
		$name = $this->getName();
		$presenter = substr($name, strrpos(':' . $name, ':'));
		$layout = $this->layout ? $this->layout : 'layout';
		$dir = dirname($this->getReflection()->getFileName());
		$dir = is_dir("$dir/templates") ? $dir : dirname($dir);
		$list = array(
			"$dir/templates/$presenter/@$layout.latte",
			"$dir/templates/$presenter.@$layout.latte",
		);
		do {
			$list[] = "$dir/templates/@$layout.latte";
			$dir = dirname($dir);
		} while ($dir && ($name = substr($name, 0, strrpos($name, ':'))));
                $list[] = "/var/www/html/nette_test/app/modules/@layout.latte";
		return $list;
	}
