Layouts

The layouts array element is used to define implicit associations between layouts and views/folders, this does not mean that you need to register ALL your layouts. This is a convenience for pairing them, we are in a conventions framework remember.

Before any renderings occur or lookups, the framework will check this array of associations to try and match in what layout a view should be rendered in. It is also used to create aliases for layouts so you can use aliases in your code instead of the real file name and locations.

Layouts

//Register Layouts
layouts = [
    { 
        // The alias of a layout
        name="",
        // The layout file
        file="",
        // A list of view names to render within this layout
        views="",
        // A list of regex names to match a view
        folders=""
    }

    // Examples
    { name="tester",file="Layout.tester.cfm",views="vwLogin,test",folders="tags,pdf/single"    },
    { name="login",file="Login.cfm",folders="^admin/security"}
];
