Running: yii-1.1.10.r3566

I would expect CController->layout to be passed to any render() command, but it seems this is not the case.

I have the following:

class ActionController extends Controller {
	public $layout='column2';
...
	public function actionView() {
		$this->layout = 'column1'; // <-- this has no effect
...
		$this->render( 'view', array(
			'layout'=>'column1', // <-- this has no effect (this would actually create a $layout variable, but I was just trying my luck... ;)
			'model'=>$model,
		) );
	}

and in the view

<?php
$this->layout='column1'; // <-- [b]only this[/b] forces the layout to be changed

My expectation is that layout should be changeable by the CController - it is public after all!!
Question: is this a bug?

Dear Friend

It should be

public function actionIndex()
	{       $this->layout="//layouts/column1";
		$dataProvider=new CActiveDataProvider('Game');
		$this->render('index',array(
			'dataProvider'=>$dataProvider,
		));
	}

or just do the following in view.

$this->layout="//layouts/column1";

no need to pass as data to view file.
Regards.
