I am trying to find out away to get.
Just trying to find the right way of getting it done correctly I am looking through there help index but bit confused.
I have three controllers in my controllers/common file called home.php, header.php, footer.php
I have set home.php controller to be my default one.
I tried adding the header and footer controller link to home controller like this
this->load->view('common/home');
$this->children = array(
'common/footer',
'common/header'
);
And on the views part
<?php echo $header; ?>
<div id="body">
<p>The page you are looking at is being generated dynamically by CodeIgniter.</p>
<p>If you would like to edit this page you'll find it located at:</p>
<code>application/views/common/home.php</code>
<p>The corresponding controller for this page is found at:</p>
<code>application/controllers/common/home.php</code>
<p>If you are exploring CodeIgniter for the very first time, you should start by reading the User Guide.</p>
</div>
<?php echo $footer; ?>
But the links in the controller file don't work for header and footer. Where abouts would I find the correct way so I can echo the header and footer to the views pages.
You need save header to variable, with third parameter set to TRUE.
Then send data to common/home
$data['header'] = $this->load->view('common/header', $variables, TRUE);
$data['footer'] = $this->load->view('common/footer', $variables, TRUE);
$this->load->view('common/home', $data);
And view common/home
<?php echo $header; ?>
<div id="body">
<p>The page you are looking at is being generated dynamically by CodeIgniter.</p>
<p>If you would like to edit this page you'll find it located at:</p>
<code>application/views/common/home.php</code>
<p>The corresponding controller for this page is found at:</p>
<code>application/controllers/common/home.php</code>
<p>If you are exploring CodeIgniter for the very first time, you should start by reading the User Guide.</p>
</div>
<?php echo $footer; ?>

I just try to bulid control panel using MVC (codeigniter), I just need way to how make a side menu in home page and when I click in the link in menu the page open in the right side, and the menu stay in the left side.
I need coorect way to do this using MVC.
I use this simple way to make Views to make exactly what your asking.
<?php
//This is mainpage.php
$data['page_id'] = $_GET['page_id'];
?>
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<div>
<!-- HERE Comes Side Bar -->
<?php $this->load->view('sidebar'); ?>
</div>
<div>
<!-- HERE Comes Main Content -->
<?php $this->load->view('maincontent',$data) ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>
Mainpage.php is a master page who holds code for both, side menu as well as the content page
This code if for side bar sidebar.php in view folder
<div>
<ul>
<li>Dashboard</li>
<li>Settings</li>
<li>Logout</li>
</ul>
</div>
sidebar.php page only holds different links, but all links have GET variable named "page_id" which decides which page is to be displayed in the content page.
Now, in mainpage.php you can notice that maincontent.php is loaded as view with passing $data which has page_id as variable, which is drived from sidebar. this will help to display the content in content side.
This code is for maincontent.php in view folder
<?php
if(file_exists(APPPATH.'views/'.$page_id.'.php')){
$this->load->view($page_id);
}else{
show_404();
}
this has always worked for me in non ajax page displays...so will work for you to.
Thanks...
I have such type of code in view, add.ctp file in Cake PHP.
<div id="container">
<div id="content">
------------------
</div>
<div id="sidebar">
----------------
</div>
</div>
Now in Layout, in default.ctp file, we access this code by this line.
<?php echo $this->fetch('content'); ?>
I have sidebar in each and every view file, and if I need some changes then I will go in each and every file and then change.
Now My Question is that, can I made a file in layout like sidebar.ctp or any thing else that I just call this file in my view. If I can, then how I will made such type of file.
You could do it with include or elements like this
<?php echo $this->element('sidebar'); ?>
With the element, you make the sidebar.ctp file in the View/Elements/ folder.
Check for more information: Cakephp 2 Elements
The other way is with include (not my choice, but another way to accomplish it)
<?php include('../View/Layouts/sidebar.ctp'); ?>
You can use elements and if the content in elements is dynamic you can use the blocks supported in latest version of cakephp.
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views.html
I'm struggling trying to understand cakephp's views, blocks and layouts.
I need everypage to show a left and right sidebar which content might change. At this moment I have the right sidebar defined in /pages/home.ctp but I'm guessing it would be better to extend that sidebar since it has to appear in everypage. Correct me if that thought is wrong.
Then, I have this view add.ctp for the 'usuarios' table, it practically shows the fields login and password. I want to show this view in the sidebar, but I'm really lost as how to do that.
Thanks in advance.
Lets make this thing easy. Like #patrick said, there is a lots of way.
Start with layout file. Rearrange your default.ctp layout like-
default.ctp layout
<div id="container">
<div id="header">
<?php echo $this->element('header');?>
</div>
<div id="left-sidebar">
<?php echo $this->element('left-sidebar');?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $this->Session->flash(); ?>
<?php echo $this->fetch('content'); ?>
</div>
<div id="right-sidebar">
<?php echo $this->element('right-sidebar');?>
</div>
<div id="footer">
<?php echo $this->element('footer');?>
</div>
</div>
Now create elements ctp files as header.ctp, left-sidebar.ctp, right-sidebar.ctp and so on and place them to app/View/Elements.
Your left-sidebar.ctp file may looks like this...
left-sidebar.ctp
// to show login form //
if you just need to show on view.ctp place few logic here for login form.
//end login form//
show other sidebar contents
There are a couple ways to do it, depending on your Cake version. If you're using >=2.1 (which I assume you are since you asked about blocks), then you should try those to see if they work for your setup. The way I usually do things is that if all views for a controller need common markup then those view files would extend a base view within the Controller directory, e.g.
#/View/Posts/index.ctp
<?php
$this->extend('_skel'); //arbitrary filename, I use '_skel' since that makes sense
echo $this->Html->para(null, 'Hello');
#/View/Posts/_skel.ctp
<?php
echo $this->Html->div('sidebar', 'Sidebar for posts...');
echo $this->fetch('content'); // This gets all output from the Posts/index.ctp view
Then all your Posts views which extend _skel will have the sidebar automatically.
Your login module might make sense as an element - something that could be used anywhere in your views.
In Laravel 3, I used to do this.
<?php render('partials.header'); ?>
This was done in "PHP" views, without using Laravel's Blade templates.
What's the equivalent of this in version 4?
I tried
<?php #include('partials.header'); ?>
This doesn't work.
If I do
#include('partials.header')
I have to save my file as ".blade.php"
How do I include a "subview" without using the blade template?
There are different ways to include a view within a view in Laravel 4. Your choice will depend on any one of the outcomes outlined below...
For Flexibility
You can compile (render) the partial views in the appropriate Controller, and pass these views to the Main View using the $data[''] array.
This may become tedious as the number of views increase, but hey, at least there's a lot of flexibility :)
See the code below for an example:
Controller
...
public function showMyView()
{
/* Header partial view */
$data['header'] = View::make('partials.header');
/* Flexible enough for any kind of partial views you require (e.g. a Header Menu partial view) */
$data['header_menu'] = View::make('partials.header_menu');
/* Footer partial view */
$data['footer'] = View::make('partials.footer');
return View::make('myView', $data);
}
...
View
You can include the partials above as follows (at any position in your View code):
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<!-- include partial views -->
<?php echo ($header) ?>
<?php echo ($header_menu) ?>
<div id="main-content-area"></div>
<?php echo ($footer) ?>
</body>
</html>
Your partial views will now be added to your main View.
For Simplicity
There's actually a much easier way than using the method above: Simply include this in the html of the view...
View
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<!-- include partial view: header -->
<?php echo View::make('partials.header') ?>
<div id="main-content-area">
</div>
<!-- include partial view: footer -->
<?php echo View::make('partials.footer') ?>
</body>
</html>
Make sure that the folder structure for the partials is [views/partials/header.php] in order to provide the correct file-path to the View::make() function of Laravel.
WARNING
If you try to pass the $data['page_title'] in a controller, the nested views wont receive the data.
To pass data to these nested views you need to do it like this:
<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<?php
/* Pass page title to header partial view */
$data ['page_title'] = "My awesome website";
echo View::make('partials.header', $data);
?>
<div id="main-content-area"></div>
<?php echo View::make('partials.footer') ?>
</body>
</html>
NOTE
The question clearly stated: "Without using Blade template", so I have made sure to give a solution that does not include any Blade templating code.
Good luck :)
You can nest your partials in views try this
View::make('folder.viewFile')->nest('anyname', 'folder.FileName');
Then access the nested view file from your template {{ $anyname }} this way you don't have to include files in your view and this should work for .php file also.
I am not sure how many people have been using Laravel 4 in this post, since this post, but if you are looking to include partials or separate your view types you can do it with #includes
for example, if you want a partials folder for your header, footer, sidebar etc
create a directory for the partials under
app/views/partials
Then create a partial
app/views/partials/navigation.blade.php
Then in your master template file add the line
#include('partials.navigation')
That is all it takes.
** Bonus you can also pass data to a partial or include nested partials within a partial
I know this is a bit of a late answer, but I figured since I didn't see this solution amongst the other answers it was ok.
If you want to include your header and footer on every page I would add them into the before and after filters. Just go to filters.php in your app folder
App::before(function($request)
{
echo View::make('partials.header');
});
App::after(function($request, $response)
{
echo View::make('partials.footer');
});
When doing it this way you don't need to add anything in the view files to include them.
You can use View's nest function
View::make('default.layout')->nest('header', 'default.header');
Use the third parameter to pass data to the template
View::make('default.layout')->nest('header', 'default.header', ['name' => 'John Doe', 'test' => 'It works!']);
on your views/default/header.blade.php
<div>hey {{ $name }}! {{ $test }}</div>
I am still pretty new to Laravel, but I think the below is pretty ideal ...
Route::get('/', function()
{
$data['title'] = 'sample';
return View::make('page', $data);
});
# /views/partials/header.php
# /views/partials/footer.php
View::composer('page', function($view)
{
$view->with('header', View::make('partials.header', $view->getData()));
$view->with('footer', View::make('partials.footer', $view->getData()));
});
See Laravel View Composers .. http://laravel.com/docs/responses#view-composers
/views/page.php
<?php echo $header; ?>
<div>CONTENT</div>
<?php echo $footer; ?>
From within a view, just echo the other view:
echo View::make('header'); //This will look for a view called header.php
I have a Symfony 1.4 project. As you know the Template layout is defined independently, in the apps' templates' folder and then it is universally applied to all other templates. My layout is very simple, something like this:
<div id = "header">
</div>
<div id = "content">
<?php echo $sf_content ; ?>
</div>
<div id = "footer">
</div>
$sf_content, as most symfonians would know, essentially spits out the template for whatever web page is being viewed at the moment. If I needed some specific data for my header, such as logout, logo etc, I would simply include it within my header. THis works great because it is static in nature. The challenge I am facing is how I can include data that is dynamic in nature and specific to a page within the header tag because the UI demands that I include it there.
For instance, one of my webpages requires user specific data to be loaded in a dropdown/select menu. This is dynamic and could range from 0 to 100 and is specific to each user. To create this dropdown menu is not an issue, and I already have that part done. The challenge is, how do I load it in the header, given that my data becomes part of $sf_content and that is spit out in my content div.
Is there a way for me to move a specific part of my $sf_content into the header div ?
In your actions.php:
$this->getResponse()->setSlot('someData', 'and its value');
In layout.php:
<div id="header">
<?php echo get_slot('someData'); ?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $sf_content ; ?>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
Slots work for this. They can either be set in the action as in the first answer above or you can define them in the templates themselves. This is what I've done where I have dynamic data to define for the layout.
In your example:
<div id="header">
<?php include_slot('some slot name')?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?php echo $sf_content() ?>
</div>
<div id="footer">
</div>
In the templates you would define the following:
<?php slot('some slot name')?>
//your code goes here
<?php end_slot() ?>
When the layout is then rendered Symfony will place the code between the slot() and end_slot() into the point at which you defined by using include_slot().
For ease I created a global partial that is included in all templates that defines the various common slots used through out the application. There is more info on slots and their usage here
