Calling View from an Action

If that's your line, it might have something to do with the fact you're echoing, and calling flash->output(). If you want to display your messages, do it in the View itself.

Yep:

$this->view->render()

Awesome, thanks!

I've been following the code samples but now, I've gone a little "off piste" and have an app/view/login/new.phtml which, from a RESTful POV, should render a login form. However, calling the 'new' action on the Login controller results in no output whatsoever. I think this is because the current view mode isn't set to "Simple". Does that sound reasonable to you?

If I rename app/view/login/new.phtml to app/view/login/index.phtml and call the Login 'index' action, it renders the view? This is somewhat strange because I though the implicit hierarchical view rendering behaviour worked when you had index.phtml in the views folder like so ... app/views/index.phtml.

Bit confused. Have I missed something?

I've not dealt with hierarchical views. I've also never had to set the view mode.

When you say you "call the 'new' action", are you calling it like a method or are you visiting the url login/new? If the former, then calling the function won't change the view that gets rendered - to change that you can either view->pick() a new template file to use, or better yet, forward() the user to the "new" action, rather than just calling $this->newAction().

Hi, no, I mean in my Welcome page, it checks for a session user. If there isn't one, it redirects to the login page:

class IndexController extends \Phalcon\Mvc\Controller
{
    public function indexAction()
    {
        if (!$this->session->has('user')) {
            return $this->response->redirect('login/new', true, 302);
        }
    }
}

Basically, it calls the new action in login controller but nothing renders. Previously, it called the 'index' action and I had the login form in an index.phtml file. This worked. I just couldn't understand why it didn't work when I tried to use 'new' (semantically creating a 'new' login/session).

So you have a file: app/view/login/new.phtml, and when you view the url login/new - nothing appears even though you have a LoginController::newAction() method? If so, I can't help - I've never had that problem.

Yep, that's about the sum of it. To me, that should work but, I think it may be falling foul of the implicit view rendering and maybe, that's not the case with 'index'. Thanks again for your input. I appreciate it.

Hello,

I have his problem, I want pass some parameters to the view with the response method as you tried it.

return $this->response->redirect('login/new', true, 302);

But when I checked the view, the parameters not shown in it.

Could you resolve this problem?

Thanks So Much!

If you're having a problem @master355, post your own thread - please don't comment on a thread almost a year old.
