Yii form fields rendered twice - php

Question

The fields of my yii form in the register page are rendered twice!!
can anybody pls help me find out what's causing this?
here is the code from the controller:
public function actionRegister()
{
$form=new Users;
// collect user input data
if(isset($_POST['Users']))
{
$form->attributes=$_POST['Users']; // set all attributes with post
// NOTE Changes to any $form->value have to be performed BEFORE $form-validate()
// or else it won't save to the database.
// validate user input and redirect to previous page if valid
if($form->validate())
{
// save user registration
$form->save();
$this->redirect(Yii::app()->createUrl('site/login'));
}
}
// display the registration form
$this->render('register',array('form'=>$form));
}
here is the code from the view:
<?php $pagetitle = "Hubylon | Register"; ?>
<?php $this->breadcrumbs=array('Register'); ?>
<div class="yiiForm">
<?php echo CHtml::beginForm(); ?>
<?php echo CHtml::errorSummary($form); ?>
<div class="row">

Answer 1

seems there's no problem from the code you have given,
but maybe you can checkout the layouts and the init() method of the current controller.

Answer 2

i managed to resolve it by adding the following line before the render:
$this->layout = '//layouts/login';
thanks!
