Other layout for scaffolding

Question

My default layout is default.ctp, but I want to use another layout default-scaffolds.ctp only for scaffolding views, when I use in the controller:

public $scaffold;

I tried in the AppController

    public function beforeScaffold() {
        $this->layout = 'default-scaffolds';
}

but that didn't work.

I appreciate any help with this.

Answer 1

Add this beforeRender()

public function beforeRender() {
    if (in_array($this->request->action, array('index', 'add', 'view', 'edit'))) {
        $this->layout = 'default-scaffolds';
    }
}
