[...] Solar comes with a reference application, Solar_App_Bookmarks. As I outlined in an earlier post about views and layouts in Solar, the bookmarks application is extended from Solar_App_Base. The Base package holds all the layouts, and those layouts are what I want to talk about in this entry. [...]

Hi Rene — well don’t I feel dumb (“method” indeed). I have changed the related code, thanks for pointing it out. :-)

Nice tutorial, it seems like although the ZF has its roots in Solar, Solar has evolved further in some directions.

Although I am wondering if the method keyword finally has been introduced to PHP… ;)

In large part, we haven’t come up with a solution for layouts yet as we’ve needed to finish some other infrastructure first. That stuff is now in place with 1.0.0, and layouts are a priority for 1.1.0.

In all likelihood, layouts will be accomplished via a combination of a two-step view implemented as a plugin, and some view helpers, and should be flexible and coherent with how view automation currently works in the MVC layer.

Hi Stan –

I should have linked to those articles; let me do so here. Start with this from Maugrim and work your back backwards (it’s part 7 of a series on how to work with views and layouts in Zend Framework):

You can also take a look at this from Akrabat, who outlines the current lack of an “offical” layout solution in Zend Framework.

Like I said, I’m sure they’ll hit on something soon, but in the meantime you can do layouts in Solar very easily. ;-)

What exactly are the issues going on with Zend?
