Laravel disable controller action layout - laravel

Is there a way to disable layout for certain controller method?
Im using something like $this->layout = null ,yet it still render the layout
The view im rendering obviously have a layout associate with it, i just wonder is it possbile to disable the layout from within controller method, without need to modify the blade file itself
Here is the controller:
class PurchaserController extends \BaseController
{
public function index()
{
$this->layout = null;
return View::make('purchasers.index');
}
}
The view:
#extends('layouts.master')
#section('content')
Content
#stop
Im using Laravel 4

Just remove
#extends('layouts.master')
from your view. That will prevent the view from loading.
Also - if you are using the #extends - then you dont actually need $this->layout() in your controller at all
Edit:
" i just wonder is it possbile to disable the layout from within controller method, without need to modify the blade file itself"
The idea is you do it either entirely from the controller, or entirely from the blade file. Not both together.

Laravel Blade Template - Put php built-function or maybe laravel helper inside yield

do you ever use PHP built-in function inside blade yield ?
For example can we do something like this :
// master layouts
#yield(ucwords('title'))
// view
#section('title', $title)
Note: $title is from controller
I've already try the first example, but it doesn't work. It doesn't output the $title on my view. Right now I am using this in all of my views
// master layouts
#yield('title')
// view 1
#section('title', ucwords($title))
// view 2
#section('title', ucwords($title))
// view 3
#section('title', ucwords($title))
But I think on second example, I'm not DRY my code because I always repeating the ucwords() on each my view. Can we using it on master layout right on yield declaration?
Thank you guys, have a nice work!
You can make your own blade directive for example if you want to make a #ucfirst() then do something like this in AppServiceProvider .
Blade::directive('ucfirst', function ($expression) {
return ucfirst($expression);
});
Past this into boot()
or on each section() you can extend the main layout #section('title', ucwords($title)) or make the helpers like i mentioned above
as you mentioned above you can use yield()
#yield('title',ucwords(strtolower('Your title')))

CodeIgniter Dry Navigation

My boss told me make dry navigation dont use repetitive code, for navigation i am trying to extend CI_Controler and with construct load header nav, body, footer files.
My question is when i create new controller and when i try to load different view files, how to achive that???
my extended controler
class MY_Controller extends CI_Controller
{
public function __construct() {
parent::__construct();
$this->load->view('view_header');
$this->load->view('includes/nav_home');
$this->load->view('view_home');
$this->load->view('view_footer');
}
}
and later when i am creating new controler how to load diffrent view files
class Pages extends MY_Controller
{
public function __construct() {
$this->load->view('includes/nav_new_view');
$
}
}
You can create a template library yourself. For example :
function template($view_name,$view_data){
//below will return html string from view name
$data['content'] = $this->load->view($view_name,$view_data,true)
//load main template view and pass the html string to main template
$this->load->view('main_template',$data);
}
In main template, just echo $content
If I understand your question, you're trying to achieve a template situation. For this, the best way is to actually call your templates view files within a primary page view. What I mean is your controller function (not the constructor, an actual class function representing a page) should call a primary view such as
$this->load->view('page1', $this->data);
and within that file, you call
$this->load->view('nav', $this->data);
then your content and then
$this->load->view('footer', $this->data);
You would then repeat the process for page 2 where in your controller's page2 function, you would call
$this->load->view('page2', $this->data);
and your page2 view file is almost identical to page1 except you use your page 2 content in that area.
You could even use a single template view file and pass it a $content variable (which obviously changes per page) and call
$this->load->view('template', $this->data);

Show a view in laravel?

In my controller I have:
public function showIndex()
{
return View::make('index');
}
In my views folder I have index.php.
But it's not showing? Where am I going wrong?
I do not wish to use blade templating.
I also had an index.blade.php file in there. It was loading this by default. Deleted the file and now works.

Laravel 4: if statement in blade layout works strange

Could someone explain me why I get blank screen with printed string "#extends('layouts.default')" if I request page normally (not ajax)?
#if(!Request::ajax())
#extends('layouts.default')
#section('content')
#endif
Test
#if(!Request::ajax())
#stop
#endif
I'm trying to solve problem with Ajax, I don't want to create 2 templates for each request type and also I do want to use blade templates, so using controller layouts doesn't work for me. How can I do it in blade template? I was looking at this Laravel: how to render only one section of a template?
By the way. If I request it with ajax it works like it should.
Yes #extends has to be on line 1.
And I found solution for PJAX. At the beginning I was not sure this could solve my problem but it did. Don't know why I was afraid to lose blade functionality if you actually can't lose it this way. If someone is using PJAX and needs to use one template with and without layout this could be your solution:
protected $layout = 'layouts.default';
public function index()
{
if(Request::header('X-PJAX'))
{
return $view = View::make('home.index')
->with('title', 'index');
}
else
{
$this->layout->title = 'index';
$this->layout->content = View::make('home.index');
}
}
Try moving #extends to line 1 and you will see the blade template will render properly.
As for solving the ajax problem, I think it's better if you move the logic back to your controller.
Example:
…
if ( Request::ajax() )
{
return Response::eloquent($books);
} else {
return View::make('book.index')->with('books', $books);
}
…
Take a look at this thread for more info: http://forums.laravel.io/viewtopic.php?id=2508
You can still run your condition short handed in the fist line like so
#extends((Request::ajax())?"layout1":"layout2")

add iframe while calling controller to view in codeigniter

call controller to view i use this code..
i want to add "template/home/home" page in to iframe tag while calling controller to view.
how can i do?
class main_con extends Controller
{
function main_con()
{
parent::Controller();
// $this->freakauth_light->check('user');
$this->_container = $this->config->item('FAL_template_dir') . 'template/container';
$this->load->library('FAL_front', 'fal_front');
}
function index()
{
$data['redirect_page'] = 'template/home/home';
$this->load->vars($data);
$this->load->view($this->_container);
}
}
thank you in advance...
I'm not quite sure if I understand your problem but:
The iframe is in your view template right? So what you need to do is just print the content of your variable in the src attrib of the iframe.
