I googled two hours, but not found answer. Maybe you can help.
When I define in MyController:
class MyController extends Base_Controller {
public $layout = 'layouts.default';
public function get_index() {
$entries = Entry::all();
return View::make('entries.index')
->with('entries', $entries);
}
}
}
In entries\index.blade.php:
@section('content')
<h1>Test</h1>
@endsection
And in layouts\default.blade.php:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
@yield('content')
</body>
</html>
Nothing is displaying. And I don't understand why. When I am replacing in MyController return part with:
$this->layout->nest('content', 'entries.index', array(
'entries' => $entries
));
Then all is working, but.. It looks not clean and I don't like it. When adding in every view @layout('layouts.default') all is working good too, but it is not DRY. For example, in RoR I don't need to do such things in Controller.
How can define in MyController one layout and use return View::make (I think that this is right way) or how can do it better?

To use layouts in controllers, you must specify:
public $layout = 'layouts.default';
You can also not return in the method as it will override the use of $layout. Instead, to embed your content within the layout you use:
$this->layout->nest('content', 'entries.index', array('entries' => $entries));
No need to return anything in your method now. This will fix it.
Edit:
"Beautiful Ways?"
$this->layout->nest('content', 'entries.index')->with('entries', $entries);
$this->layout->content = View::make('entries.index')->with('entries', $entries);
$this->layout->entries = $entries;
$this->layout->nest('content', 'entries.index');
