将变量从布局渲染到另一个布局

Question

In layout I am getting some value:

$quote = Quotes::model()->findAll(array('order'=>'id DESC', 'limit'=>1));

And it works Ok, no matter it is a bad practice to call model from view. In another layout in the same folder I cant do the same. If it matters, this layouts shows on the same page. I am responding straight to the Model and the Controller doesnt render any variables to view. Is there a way to send this var to custom layout or view?

Answer 1

You can create a method inside your controller that will return the value you need, and then you can call this method from view. Or if you are using $this->render() inside your view, then you just have to pass this variable forward to your custom view: $this->render('quotes',$quotes);
