Hi,

I have specified two actions for my IndexController. One is the default indexAction and the other is called loginAction. I have sucessfully invoked and configured the ZendLayout in my bootstrap.php file, and the content for the master layout is the index.phtml view script that i created for the default controller action IndexController::indexAction.

The problem is ive added IndexController::loginAction and a new view script called login.phtml. However when I link to the view script, I loose all my headers, footers, css, everything from the layout is gone.

I was under the impression that the layout master script applied to all the actions and corresponding views within a controller. However in my case the layout master is only taking its '$this->content()' from the index.phtml and not taking it from the login.phtml when I call it by URI.

What am I missing? Ive gone through the documentation for Zend_View and Zend_Layout many many times. Help! ;0)

This has been resolved.

I simply added an absolute path to my css file in the master layout and everything is back to normal, I had goofed a bit in the description of the problem, I was getting my layout stuff, however I was not getting my css styling.

Does anyone know of a helper function to link the stylesheet? (besides linking it with an absolute path) I found it odd that despite making the link relative to the document root the css file was not found.

42.4.1.5. HeadLink Helper

I hate to do this to you but have you ever gotten any variation of the HeadLink helper to work?? Ive tried all the methods that made sense, with all the possible paths, relative and otherwise that I can think of, and no dice!!

For example, in my master layout script, in the head section, ive commented out my link to the stylesheet, and have implemented the headLink interface. Here is one example of how ive approached the issue:

In this case, I view source on the result, and get the link that is identical to the one that works properly, the one ive commented out. However, the css is not being interpreted by the browser. I dont know why that could be. Ive also tried an alternative headLink method called appendStylesheet like so:

and also with a relative path


And still, no dice. When I visit the links, I get the stylesheet, but when I view my webpage, no styling whatsoever. What gives here? In addition to all this, later in the code im doing stuff like printing out my current working directory just to make sure ive got the proper document root, and im also printing out the contents of a recursive LS showing, not suprisingly, the contents of the webroot, showing the styles directory, and the contents of the styles directory, showing the style.css file.

This has got to be some kind of bug, either that or Im making some seriously obvious mistake and my foot is WAY inside my mouth at this point.

I'm not using zend_view (phptal as view) but but I think You've made mistake with 'media'. It should be one of these: Media types . So for normal display it's 'screen'.
