how to switch to other layout in zend framework?

Question

hi

if i have 2 layout in my application how can change my default layout to other layout for some controller or action?

Answer 1

Here you go:

$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
$layout->setLayout('otherlayout');

Where otherlayout is the name of the second layout (otherlayout.phtml in your layouts folder).

Answer 2

robertbasic's answer is correct. You can also do the following inside of a controller action:

$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('otherlayout');
