Best way to deal with multiple layouts in symfony

Question

Hey folks. I'm looking for the best way to do something simple in symfony.

Basically, I have a module in which all the pages will contain the same header and footer. That module also shares the same general layout as the other modules.

I'm just wondering, should I create one file and have my content pages called up as partials or should all files have their own content and somehow call the two other templates.

I made a quick example of my setup: http://grab.by/3Riy

Hopefully, it'll help understand what I'm trying to do.

Thanks!

Answer 1

You should do this that way:

1. Create layout.php file that will contain:
   1. Website header
   2. include_slot (for Module header)
   3. echo $sf_content (module template/content)
   4. include_slot (for Module footer)
   5. Website footer
2. In module's templates you define slots for module header and footer.

Answer 2

I decided to go with partials instead.

indexSuccess.php

<?php include_partial("header"); ?>
Content
<?php include_partial("footer"); ?>

This way, it still work with my original layout.php as well.
