Two different layouts for Guest User & Logged in User- Yii2

Previously, I was having main.php where header & footer were declared. Which is Ok. Now, I am looking for 2 different layouts for Guest User & Registered User. In which Registered User and Admin will have different header & footer.

I am using Yii2 Basic App. I created GuestUser.php & RegisteredUser.php inside views/layouts/ folder.

Guest User means User has not logged in the application. And, Registered User means User Has logged in the Application.

Now, My directory structure is like this.

views
    ->layouts
        ->main.php
        ->GuestUser.php
        ->RegisteredUser.php
    ->site

Now, How can I use GuestUser.php & RegisteredUser.php for my application. As for now, Application is taking main.php by default. How can I control this ?

GuestUser.php

<?php
use yii\helpers\Html;
use app\assets\LocalAsset;
LocalAsset::register($this);
?>
<?php $this->beginPage() ?>

      </div>
  </footer>
  <?php $this->endBody() ?>
</body>
</html>
<?php $this->endPage() ?>

I Tried

main.php

<?php if(Yii::$app->user->isGuest){?>
    <?php $this->beginContent('@app/views/layouts/GuestUser.php'); ?>
            <?=$content;?>
    <?php $this->endContent();?>
<?php } else {?>
    <?php $this->beginContent('@app/views/layouts/RegisteredUser.php'); ?>
            <?=$content;?>
    <?php $this->endContent();?>
<?}?>

Any help/hint/suggestions is appreciable. Please help.

Solution

  • One way to achieve this for the whole application might be to set use an application event handler and configure the layout file:

    //in web.php

$config = [
    ....
    'on beforeRequest' => function ($event) {
        Yii::$app->layout = Yii::$app->user->isGuest ? 
            '@app/views/layouts/GuestUser.php' :      // or just use 'GuestUser' and 
            '@app/views/layouts/RegisteredUser.php';  // 'RegisteredUser' since the path 
                                                      // and the extension are used by
                                                      // default
    },
    ....
];

    If you want to do it only within a single controller you could use layout in the controller. Just override this member with the file name (without .php) in your controller.
