Redmine

Hello everybody,

the Plugin_Tutorial uses content_for to "extend" the Redmine-Base-Layout (source:/trunk/app/views/layouts/base.rhtml). I use the same method in a nested layout for a plugin (as described here).

Anyway, content_for works for named yields, only and I'd like to use the nested layout to render stuff in the "content" yield (precisely: the content-div).

Did I miss an elegant way to do so? Well, there are hooks, but they are called on every Redmine page...

If I did not miss anything: You could do a <%= yield :content %> after the <%= yield %> in base.rhtml. For (soon to be coming ;) ) users of nested layouts, this might make sense at more places in base.rhtml (at the same places the hooks are called...). This way plug-in-develops could extend a layout by doing something like:

# vendor/plugins/my_plugin/app/views/layouts/my_layout.rhtml
<% content_for :content do%>
  ASDF
<% end %>
...
<%= render :file => 'layouts/base' %>

# vendor/plugins/my_plugin/app/controllers/my_plugins_base_controller.rb
...
layout proc{ |c| c.request.xhr? ? false : "my_layout" }
...

Cheers,
Thorsten
