Hello,
I've got myself a bit confused, maybe someone can clarify this for me.
Some background:
I've got variables in my actions that I would like to pass to my layout.
Currently I'm doing this ...
In my actionController, ---> $this->view->noContentBorder = true;
In the view template for that action, --->
$this->placeholder('noContentBorder')->set($this->noContentBorder);
And then in the layout it's something like, --> if
(isset($this->noContentBorder) && $this->noContentBorder == true) {...
Ok, so I'm wanting to remove the place holder because there are a few views
that have only placeholders for forwarding them to the layout template.
I tried this in the actionController, -->
Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->assign('noContentBorder',true);
However, it doesn't seem to work ...
I looked at the assign function in the layout, simply put it assigned the
variable to an array...
-- $this->_container[$spec] = $value;
In the render function, the comments say - * assigns layout variables to
view,...
But, I do not see where the variables from the $this->_container are
assigned to the layout view that is rendered ...
What am I missing ...

~ snip render function from zend/layout.php
/**
* Render layout
*
* Sets internal script path as last path on script path stack, assigns
* layout variables to view, determines layout name using inflector, and
* renders layout view script.
*
* $name will be passed to the inflector as the key 'script'.
*
* @param mixed $name
* @return mixed
*/
public function render($name = null)
{
if (null === $name) {
$name = $this->getLayout();
}
if ($this->inflectorEnabled() && (null !== ($inflector =
$this->getInflector())))
{
$name = $this->_inflector->filter(array('script' => $name));
}
$view = $this->getView();
if (null !== ($path = $this->getViewScriptPath())) {
if (method_exists($view, 'addScriptPath')) {
$view->addScriptPath($path);
} else {
$view->setScriptPath($path);
}
} elseif (null !== ($path = $this->getViewBasePath())) {
$view->addBasePath($path, $this->_viewBasePrefix);
}
return $view->render($name);
}
