php templating - override ../views/index.phtml method?

Hi,

Is there any way to override the Main Layout ../views/index.phtml for a specific action? I found a way of doing it with: view->setViewsDir('../app/alternative_views'); and I was wonder if can be achieve in a different way (something like ->setMainLayout('alternative_index').

Best regards, Razvan

You can use Phalcon\Mvc\View::setMainView to change the location of that file.
