Hello. I have problems to replace global template.

class Controller_Admin extends Controller_Base {

 public $template = 'admin/template';

 public function before()
 {
  parent::before();

  if ( ! Auth::member(100) and Request::active()->action != 'login')
  {
   Response::redirect('admin/login');
  }
 }

Controller admin has defined global $template. I need create login action with replacing global template. How can I do it.

You can set $this->template in you before() method.

Hi, so I think I'm having the same issue here - the before() method doesn't appear to want to let me set a different template to the regular one. The background is that I want to set a different template if a mobile device is detected. Here's some code:

class Controller_Site extends Controller_Template
{
    public $template = 'template_main';

    public function before()
    {
        parent::before();
        
        if ($this->IsMobileUserAgent())
        {
            $this->template = 'template_mobile';
        }
    }

    public function action_index()
    {     
        $this->template->title = 'The title';
        $view = View::forge('site/index');
        $this->template->content = $view;
    }
    
    // The code to detect a user agent is large - this is just a stub as an example
    private function IsMobileUserAgent()
    {
        // If it's a mobile browser, return true
        // else return false - code from [url=http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/]http://detectmobilebrowsers.com/[/url]
        return true;
    }
}

The page just displays "template_mobile" and seems to ignore templating altogether. I guess I'm doing something obviously wrong, but I'm not sure what. If I change it to not have the before method, and to just use template_main, it works okay. It's only when I try and change the template in the controller that I have a problem. Any suggestions gratefully received.

Problem here is that $this->template is processed in the parent::before(), so if your before() need logic that alters the template, do that BEFORE you call parent::before().

Perfect, sorted. Thank you very much! Easy when you know how. :-)
