Set layout from module controller in yii2

Question

I have three layouts in my layouts folder in main views folder. I added a module called subDomain. In my subDomain module I have a Controller called HomeController. In HomeController there is an action called getDomain().

In the getDomain() action I want to change the main layout to getDomainLayout. But there is an error when I use a code:

$this->layout = "getDomainLayout";

Yii2 throws:

Invalid Parameter – yii\base\InvalidParamException    
The view file does not exist: \myyii2\modules\subDomain\views\layouts\bersih.php

Answer 1

You can set the variable in the controller.

class DefaultController extends Controller
{
     public $layout = 'main.php';
}

Or by passing the complete path

public $layout = '@frontend/modules/idModule/views/layouts/main.php';
