plugin layout

[dearaujoj]

Hi folks,
I have developed a plugin that has two modules one for backend and the other one frontend and I have created a layout for each of them.
In the view.yml of each module I have specified the layout to use for the views as follow:

Code: Select all

all:
  layout:    my_module_layout


but when I run the backend of my module I have the following error:

sfRenderException
The decorator template "admin_layout.php" does not exist or is unreadable in "".

Although I was expecting the application to find the layout under my plugin/modules/mymodule/templates folder but it seems that the decorator doesn't have it.

Any help will be appreciate.

Thanks

José

For the ones who are interested, here is a solution that worked for me:

Code: Select all

$template = $this->getContext()->getConfiguration()->getTemplateDir('MODULE', 'LAYOUT_FILE.php');
$this->setLayout($template . '/LAYOUT_FILE');


Using the previous code in an action let you load any layout without having to copy it in the global template folder.
