Multiple Layouts in Refinery

[Fregas]

I'm sorry if this has been asked but i couldn't find a definitive
answer in this group. Is there a way to allow multiple layouts for
the same site, like if want 3 pages to look different then another
three pages? It doesn't have to be configurable through the user
admin, I just want a way to tell refinery that 3 CMS pages should use
a different layout than the rest of the site.

Thanks,
Craig

Maarten (MoreTea) is working on a branch that does just this.
http://github.com/moretea/refinerycms/tree/rails3_page_layouts

I guess you could message him on GitHub for more information. This functionality will likely go core once it has all of the issues worked out + a clean, nice interface.

How do I replace that branch with the refinery i'm using now? Sorry
new to Rails as well as Refinery...

Any news here? I could have used that feature, too. Right now, I'm simply overwriting PagesController#show.

I'm also looking for a way to manage multiple layouts...anyone heard
anything? Trying to merge in a separate branch of refinery isn't
really practical...

Or, conversely, you can just enable config.use_layout_templates = true, config.layout_template_whitelist = ["application", "my_layout"] inside config/initializers/refinery/pages.rb, create app/views/layouts/my_layout.html.erb, and then use the select box in the page's Advanced Options. ;)

For whatever reason, the guide doesn't appear in the site list, but you can learn more about those settings here: https://github.com/resolve/refinerycms/blob/master/doc/guides/3%20-%20Advanced%20Techniques%20and%20Tips/3%20-%20Using%20Custom%20View%20or%20Layout%20Templates.textile

Figured out a way to do it and though it might be useful for someone.

I extended pages controller just like in this guide: http://refinerycms.com/guides/extending-controllers-and-models-with-decorators

Since I only needed to change layout for my home page my decorator looks like this:

Refinery::PagesController.class_eval do

  layout 'home', only: [:home]

end

f I needed to define a layout for a few pages I could change it something like this:

;

Refinery::PagesController.class_eval do

  layout :resolve_layout

  private

  def resolve_layout

    case params[:path]

    when "home"

      "home"

    when "about"

      "about"

    else

      "application"

    end

  end

end

Looking at the dates in the thread... Is there a better solution for multiple layouts these days?

The guide would need to be on 2-0-stable to appear.
