Thanks for your comment, but when you make it look like seo spam, it ruins the sincerity of it.

I found this to be useful. Near seamless usage with Zend_Layout and Zend_View.

@ Jeremy
Sorry for not following up on David’s reply here, he did have his question answered on twitter already..
Twig does not have a solution the same as Zend_Layout, it instead has template inheritance, so there is no need for Zend_Layout with twig, it can not only perform the same job, it does it better!

@Hari K T
Thanks, fixed!

@David
Not only does twig have an equivalent to Layouts which is actually superior, it also has a solution which matches view helpers, in its extensions. They are a different methodology to view helpers, but they perform essentially the same task, and ultimately enforce the same strict policy of only presentation logic in the template itself when you use them, which is an added bonus.

I have to agree with David. Until Twig can work with ZF’s layout it’s not very useful to me.

Typo abstract class Core_Controller and IndexController is extending Core_SiteController .
Also are you moving all the views scripts to templates folder ?
If you have all the code some where in github ie also good .
Thanks for the post .

Very helpful post, especially the creation of the resource application resource and the related config.

The two things that have stopped me from diving into Twig – despite lots of positive buzz from Twitter folks whom I follow and respect – are:

1. How to handle/emulate ZF layouts in Twig.
2. How to handle/emulate ZF view helpers in Twig.

Any thoughts – or perhaps a follow-up post – on these issues?

Again, many thanks for a clear and helpful post.
