How To Make Custom Layout In Yii Framework

I am new to yii please tell me how to convert html template to yii framework give me some links for it to show some examples.

Solution 1:

I didn't get your question clearly, anyway if you want to make a new Yii layout, you need to do these steps in general:

• create a new php file in the protected/views/layouts dir, name it new-temp.php for example. this page should print this var <?php echo $content; ?>

• create another php file in the same dir, name it new-temp-widget.php , this file should contain the following code : <?php $this->beginContent('//layouts/new-temp'); ?><div id="content"><?php echo $content; ?></div><?php $this->endContent(); ?>

• Finally, to use this template for a certain action, just write this code inside the action function $this->layout = '//layouts/new-temp-widget'; OR if you want to apply this template for the whole controller, add var inside the controller: public $layout='//layouts/new-temp-widget';
