Layout per module zf2

Question

I have 2 modules, and I need to use different layout for each one, but all modules always use layout of second loaded module.

application.config.php :

return array(
// This should be an array of module namespaces used in the application.
'modules' => array(
    'news',//in this module use Application layout
    'Application',
),

You could use EdpModuleLayouts . It is a ZF2 module that allows you to configure different layout for each module. Its usage is very simple :

• Just install it in your vendor folder of you project

• Enable EdpModuleLayouts module in the application.config.php file :

   'modules' => array( 'EdpModuleLayouts', //<---add this line 'News', 'Application', ), 

• Define the layout for each module in your module.config.php file of one of two modules, for example in the Application module. Here we are setting two layouts: news/layout for News Module and layout/layout for Application module :

   'view_manager' => array( 'display_not_found_reason' => true, 'display_exceptions' => true, 'doctype' => 'XHTML1_TRANSITIONAL', 'not_found_template' => 'error/404', 'exception_template' => 'error/index', 'template_map' => array( 'news/layout' => __DIR__ . '/../../News/view/layout/admin-layout.phtml', 'layout/layout' => __DIR__ . '/../view/layout/layout.phtml', 'application/index/index' => __DIR__ . '/../view/application/index/index.phtml', 'error/404' => __DIR__ . '/../view/error/404.phtml', 'error/index' => __DIR__ . '/../view/error/index.phtml', ), 'template_path_stack' => array( 'application' => __DIR__ . '/../view', 'news' => __DIR__ . '/../../News/view', ), ), 'module_layouts' => array( 'Application' => 'layout/layout', 'News' => 'news/layout', ),

1. Set in your {MyNewModule}/Module.php .

    namespace {MyNewModule}; use Zend\\ModuleManager\\Feature\\AutoloaderProviderInterface; use Zend\\Mvc\\ModuleRouteListener; use Zend\\ModuleManager\\ModuleManager; use Zend\\Mvc\\MvcEvent; 

2. Create a new Method Init.

    public function init(ModuleManager $manager){ $events = $manager->getEventManager(); $sharedEvents = $events->getSharedManager(); $sharedEvents->attach(__NAMESPACE__, 'dispatch', function($e) { $controller = $e->getTarget(); $controller->layout('layout/***customFile.phtm***'); }, 100); }

Answer 3

I also had the same case and solve it like this:

Had the module login and application , what I did was to determine the layouts in global.php like this:

return array(
     'module_layouts' => array(
        'Application' => 'layout/layout.phtml',
        'Login' => 'layout/login.phtml' 
),
);

Now you should create a folder in the view layout login, where would the login.phtml

now in the configuration of login module. Module.config.php

      'view_manager' => array(
            'template_path_stack' => array(
                'Login' => __DIR__ . '/../view',
            ), 
          )
;

This should run you.
