Yii create BaseController for Layout -

i reading link "how implement multiple page layouts in application" easy until says: use controller layout , have better create basecontroller in protected/components/basecontroller.php ,it easy , created php file content:

abstract class basecontroller extends ccontroller {     public $crumbs=array();     public $portlets=array();     public $portlets2=array(); } 

and put these lines main.ph in components section:

    'basecontroller'=>array(             'class'=>'application.components.basecontrollert',         ),   

and when use in layout:

$this->portlets

it return

property "homecontroller.portlets" not defined.

which means inside main controller variable.

how solve problem ?

• all layout code written according link link.

you forgot controllers must extends class.

read : http://www.yiiframework.com/wiki/28/#hh1

then can derive base class each individual concrete controller class

you have modify controllers :

class mycontroller extends basecontroller { ..... }
