[tugrul]

\Phalcon\Mvc\View::setLayout() has no effect when use with \Phalcon\Mvc\View::pick()

$view->pick('content/list');

Details

2.0.13 version is no longer maintained and supported. Can you check 3.0.x branch ?

[tugrul]

3.0.x has too buggy with PHP 5.6. so many seg faults. I can't waste my time with 3.0.x

[Jurigag]

You can use php 7. What seg faults ? Create issues then. #12154 i know only about this seg fault.

[tugrul]

@Jurigag it is not easy in corporate business. PHP 7 is too young and we can't deal other problems like other php module incompatibility or old codebase incompatibility

Too young ? It's almost 10 months men. I already using it in corporate business without ANY problem.

@tugrul Could you please provide an example what exactly does not work for you with Phalcon 3.0.x and PHP5?

[tugrul]

@sergeyklay published a branch on my invo fork. addText and addVideo actions don't have layout output due to view pick. addEvent doesn't have problem without view pick.

I always use pick() method for such needs.

Looking at the behavior of both setLayout() and pick(), how they're suppose to work together in harmony, in other words what do you want to achieve?

Change the layout to be used instead of using the name of the latest controller name
    $this->view->setLayout('main');

Choose a different view to render instead of last-controller/last-action
         $this->view->pick("products/list");

[tugrul]

@stamster there is a shared layout on reporting pages like setting date range or kind of product. I needed to print report by different criteria on same table structure. Also table structure can be different by report. Table structure not same each report and i cant put in same view filtering header and table structure in same view file.

You were right if i made simple blog application xD

I can achieve this with duplicate of table structure to action's view file but it's dirty.
