I am using a fresh build today of Laravel 4.
I have a dashboardController
class DashboardController extends BaseController {
protected $layout = 'layouts.dashboard';
public function index()
{
$this->layout->content = View::make('dashboard.default');
}
}
I have a simple route
Route::get('/', 'DashboardController#index');
I have a blade layout in views/layouts/dashboard.blade.php
For the sake of saving everyone from all of the actual HTML ill use a mock up.
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
#yield('content')
</body>
</html>
I have a default blade file in views/dashboard/ that has the following (edited for simplicity)
#section('content')
<p>This is not rocket science</p>
#stop
For some reason the content gets generated before the layout.
I am using a different approach to set the layouts globally to routes using a custom filter. Put the following filter into the app/filters.php
Route::filter('theme', function($route, $request, $response, $layout='layouts.default')
{
// Redirects have no content and errors should handle their own layout.
if ($response->getStatusCode() > 300) return;
//get original view object
$view = $response->getOriginalContent();
//we will render the view nested to the layout
$content = View::make($layout)->nest('_content',$view->getName(), $view->getData())->render();
$response->setContent($content);
});
and now instead of setting layout property in the controller class, you can group the routes and apply the filter as shown below.
Route::group(array('after' => 'theme:layouts.dashboard'), function()
{
Route::get('/admin', 'DashboardController#getIndex');
Route::get('/admin/dashboard', function(){ return View::make('dashboard.default'); });
});
When creating the views, make sure to use the #section('sectionName') in all the sub views and use #yield('sectionName') in the layout views.
I find it easier to do my layout like this for example. I would create my master blade file like so
<html>
<body>
#yield('content');
</body>
</html
And in the blade files that I want to use the master at the top i would put
#extends('master')
then content like so
#section('content')
// content
#stop
Hope this helps.
When you use controller layouts, i.e. $this->layout->..., then you get access to data as variables, not sections. So to access content in your layout you should use...
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php echo $content; ?>
</body>
</html>
And in your partial, you would not use #section or #stop...
<p>This is not rocket science</p>

This is a complete new application using Laravel 9 and Livewire
By default you have two layouts, guest and app. I want to create a new layout for all my admin things.
So, first I create a component
php artisan make:component AdminLayout
This creates \app\View\Components\AdminLayout.php, it read as:
<?php
namespace App\View\Components;
use Illuminate\View\Component;
class AdminLayout extends Component {
public function render() { return view('layouts.admin'); }
}
As any of the other two AdminLayout.php or GuestLayout.php
So now I write app\resources\views\layouts\admin.blade.php which is a stantandard HTML with the {{ $slot }} blade directive, something as...
<html>
<head>
...
<title>Admin Page</title>
...
#livewireStyles
#vite([...])
</head>
<body>
<main class="...">
{{ $slot }}
</main>
#livewireScripts
</body>
</html>
Then I create the admin routes... The Index class is in \app\Livewire\Admin\Index.php and it is correctly imported
Route::get('', Index::class)->name('home');
The Index.php reads as
class Index extends Component {
public function render() { return view('livewire.admin.index'); }
}
The \app\resources\views\livewire\admin\index.blade.php reads:
<x-admin-layout>
Hello
</x-admin-layout>
So everything seems to be right... now I have two problems that I can't spot/solve. When I load the http:://server.test/admin it should load this page. 1) It doesn't change the title in the page for Admin Page, 2) It always loads the #livewire('navigation-menu'), and looks like the followin picture:
If I add things above the {{ $slot }} or below, they are rendered. If I add another #livewire('navigation-menu') it is rendered. But I'm not able to take it out, even when I'm not telling to display it.
Any idea?
I just noticed that if I add a comment in the guest layout or the admin layout, it simply ignores it. If I add a comment in the app layout it somehow "propagates" to both the guest and admin layout. Is this the expected behaivour?
In many examples and documents I generally see that the page title is set via someController->main.blade.php->somePage.blade.php. Something like:
SomeController.php
public function someAction()
{
$title = 'Some Title';
return view('somePage', ['title'=>$title]);
}
main.blade.php
<head>
<title> #section('title') | Page #show </title>
...
somePage.blade.php
#section ('title')
{{$title}} #parent
#endsection
Wouldn't it be mode convenient to set it directly/only over the controller and blade layout file? I mean something like:
SomeController.php
public function someAction()
{
$title = 'Some Title';
return view('somePage', ['title'=>$title]);
}
main.blade.php
<head>
<title>{{ $title }}</title>
...
Wouldn't it be better to use it in that way?
I prefer not to assign the title from the controller - it's content and should be in the template from my point of view. I like to have a section in the template like
//layout file
<title> FancyApp - #yield('title')</title>
// Template
#section('title', 'Page Title')
I have Controller on CI like this
class Testing extends CI_Controller {
//put your code here
public function xx() {
$this->load->helper('url');
$this->load->view('testing');
}
public function linkURL() {
$this->load->helper('url');
$data['test'] = "testing123";
$this->load->view('xxx_view', $data);
}
}
I'm running on function linkURL and call view xxx_view, the code on view like this
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<?php
$segment = array('Testing', 'xx');
?>
Link
</body>
view call a href and using helper site_url to call Controller Testing and function xx. But the link is not working. I am already capture on firebug and link looks like weird. The Link on href contain *http://::1*. How to solved that link
You can print_r($_SERVER) in your controller and check it. or You can use
$config['base_url'] = 'http://localhost:8081/your-project/'
In my opinion, seem to you sent data test to view xxx_view but not using this variable. try echo $test and I see in url using xxx not xx
You need to autoload URL helper in your config/autoload.php.This time you are loading URl helper in function. That will not work for your view.
I have just setup my Laravel 4.2 application and am following some online tutorials about authentication.
The tutorials are telling me to add
protected $layout = "layouts.main";
and then when calling a view, call it like so
$this->layout->content = View::make('users.register');
But, if im following the Laravel website in creating my templates, it tells me to add
#extends('layouts.main')
At the beginning of my users/register view
Do i need to bother about the 2 bits of code i added at the beginning if im using that #extends call?
Im really confused.
Cheers
No, docs don't say you should do that.
You either do define controller layout (a), or return the view which extends layout (b)
A: Controller layout
/**
* The layout that should be used for responses.
*/
protected $layout = 'layouts.master';
/**
* Show the user profile.
*/
public function showProfile()
{
$this->layout->content = View::make('user.profile');
}
B: View extending layout view
// app/views/layout/master.blade.php
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
</head>
<body>
<header>
#yield('header')
</header>
<section>
#yield('content')
</section>
<footer>
#yield('footer')
</footer>
</body>
</html>
// app/views/profile.blade.php
#extends('layout/master')
#section('header')
Header content here
#stop
#section('content')
Master content here
#if (Auth::user()->isAdmin)
#include('admin-panel')
#endif
#stop
#section('footer')
Footer content here
#stop
// Controller
/**
* Show the user profile.
*/
public function showProfile()
{
return View::make('profile');
}
I have a question. How could I create subpages (something like this: character.php?name=Xar) but I want it in Laravel. Do I have to create routes? Also to mention, when I create a route like this:
Route::get('account/test', 'HomeController#test');
and the view is in folder under views/aac/test, and the function is like:
public function test()
{
return View::make('aac.test');
}
it won't load the CSS. it's just an HTML page.
back to the problem again, how could I create sites like that? I'm also using Blade templating engine.
// app/routes.php
Route::get('characters', 'CharactersController#all');
Route::get('characters/{name}', 'CharactersController#detail');
// app/controllers/CharactersController.php
class CharactersController extends BaseController
{
public function all()
{
// show all characters
}
public function detail($name)
{
// find character by name & show detail for example
return View::make('acc.test');
}
}
// app/views/acc/test.blade.php
// HTML::style('css/style.css') loads CSS file located at public/css/style.css
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Document</title>
{{ HTML::style('css/style.css') }}
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Search function
Place search form somewhere in your view file
<form action="{{ URL::action('CharactersController#search') }}" method="get">
<input type="text" name="search-term">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
As specified, search form is submited to CharactersController and its search method.
Controller's method
public function search()
{
$name = Inpute::get('search-term');
$searchResult = Character::where('name', '=', $name)->get();
....
}
Register new route
Route::get('characters/search', 'CharactersController#search');
