Change index.phtml to index.volt

Did you register volt in view as engine ?

Yes. Volt automatically register after create project: config/services.php:

$di->setShared('view', function () use ($config) { $view = new View(); $view->setViewsDir($config->application->viewsDir); $view->registerEngines(array( '.volt' => function ($view, $di) use ($config) { $volt = new VoltEngine($view, $di); $volt->setOptions(array( 'compiledPath' => $config->application->cacheDir, 'compiledSeparator' => '_' )); return $volt; }, '.phtml' => 'Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine\Php' )); return $view; });

So maybe clear cache dir ?

No. I create new project, change index.phtml to index.volt , "->getContent();" to "{{ content() }}", open site and have white page. If I try in blog/public/index.php

var_dump( $application->handle()->getContent() );

I have:

string(0) ""

A feeling that phalcon ignore volt extension.

Well cuz you are misunderstanding it. getContent() method returns a response with rendered view.

{{ content() }}

Will call a function added to volt compiler which doesnt exist. If you want to add variable to volt you have to:

$this->view->setVar('something','something here');

And then in volt {{ something }} will output in html 'something here'.

I understand that, but the file also has a connection js file link, but on the page and that there is no. Please try create project:

phalcon project blog --type=modules

and change index.phtml -> index.volt in blog/apps/frontend/views/ and go this page, you work?

Also instead of httpd error check php error/related log error to your vhost. There must be some error. What happens if you delete {{ content() }} ?

1) I recreated httpd error log file - after refresh page, log file is empty

2) Page still white

The same problem occurs on two computers with different operating systems (Ubuntu and Mac OS X)

I fixed this. In blog/apps/frontend/Module.php In:

$di['view']

Need add:

$view->registerEngines(array( ".volt" => 'Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine\Volt' ));

Thanks for this repo manual: https://github.com/phalcon/mvc/blob/master/multiple-volt/apps/frontend/Module.php

Or change $di['view'] to:

$di['view'] = function () use ($config) { $view = new View(); $view->setViewsDir(DIR . '/views/'); $view->registerEngines(array( '.volt' => function ($view, $di) use ($config) { $volt = new \Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine\Volt($view, $di); $volt->setOptions(array( 'compiledPath' => $config->application->cacheDir, 'compiledSeparator' => '_' )); return $volt; } )); return $view; };

And add in blog/apps/frontend/config/config.php:

'cacheDir' => DIR . '/../cache/',

For cache compile template.

But I don't understand, why in simple project default use volt but modules used phtml.
