first of all I would like to say hello to all users!
secondly i have a question, cause i’m totally fresh to the Yii. I’ve searched the forums but i haven’t find answer.
So far:
-
I have created a skeleton for admin module
-
admin module has its own layout
-
in /web/modules/admin/AdminModule i set layout in this way
$this->layout = "/layouts/infinitech";
Problem:
admin layout file isn’t overrided when a corresponding layout file exists in themes folder, e.g. /web/themes/admin/views/layouts/infinitech (admin module uses /web/protected/modules/admin/views/layouts/infinitech)
the views rendered are:
Context DefaultController
E:.htdocs.infinitech.web.protected.modules.admin.views.default/index
Context DefaultController
E:.htdocs.infinitech.web.protected.modules.admin.views/layouts/infinitech
Context DefaultController
E:.htdocs.infinitech.web.protected.modules.admin.views/layouts/main
why not web.themes… and so on?
Question
Did I misunderstood something from docs or misconfigured sth? Additionally, can anyone explain meaning of the slashes in front of layout path? In blog tutorial there are 2 slashes (//), I found somewhere snippet with no slashes and with one slash and I am slightly confused 
Shortcut
I would like to achieve situation like that:
i have module with its own layout and views, that could be overrided with theme layout and views - sounds simple but causes me headache:)
i would appreciate any help.
