laravel layout templat lost in subfolder url blade

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/22440206

Question

My template layout blade doesn't render when the url is a subfolder.

I made a test example to check:

URL/tests is okay

but

URL/tests/1/edit loses the outer layout template and only renders the content.

Testcontroller:

class TestController extends AdminController {

 protected $layout = 'layouts.admin';

public function index()
{
    // load the view
    $this->layout->content=View::make('tests.index');

}
public function edit($id)
{
    //
    $course=Course::find($id);

    return View::make('tests.edit')->with(array('course'=>$course));
}

}

layout admin.blade.php

<html><body>
{{ $content }}
</body>
</html>

tests/index.blade.php 

hello

/tests renders source full layout html code and works fine on proper site examples

tests/edit.blade.php

edit

/tests/1/edit renders with NO layout HTML

There are various ways of using blade but I thought the easiest was with protected layout but there seem to be issues?

Any help appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

In the edit method instead of

return View::make('tests.edit')->with(array('course'=>$course));

use:

$this->layout->content= View::make('tests.edit')->with(array('course'=>$course));

OTHER TIPS

In your AdminController which is the base controller of your TestController, add the layout setings, put this code in your AdminController

protected $layout = 'layouts.master';

protected function setupLayout()
{
    if ( ! is_null($this->layout))
    {
        $this->layout = View::make($this->layout);
    }
}

Now you use any view with layout using something like this:

$this->layout->content = View::make('tests.edit')->with(array('course'=>$course));

Here, tests.edit means that edit.blade.php (also could edit.php if not blade) file is in app/views/tests/ directory.

In your index method you have used:

$this->layout->content=View::make('tests.index');

So the layout showed up because you set data to layout but in other example you didn't set data to layout so layout is not rendered, it's returning only the view as given below:

return View::make('tests.edit')->with(array('course'=>$course));

So, setup the layout in the base controller class so in your every controller you don't have to setup the layout, but always set data to the content variable of layout using this:

$this->layout->content = 'your data';
