Rendering Twig templates

Next to Zend Framework's own phtml templates, Garp also supports Twig rendering.

Practical answers to common questions:

This is mostly straight up Zend Framework stuff, but it's a helpful FAQ of things you may encounter in the Garp context.

Disable layout:

$this->_helper->layout->disableLayout();

Render custom script:

// Render immediately with current parameters:
$this->renderScript('post/view.phtml');

// Simply alter the view that will be rendered after the controller action finishes:
$this->_helper->viewRenderer('post/view', null, true)

Use particular layout:

$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('xml');

Is layout enabled?

$this->_helper->layout->isEnabled();

Use a Garp layout:

$this->_helper->layout->setLayoutPath(GARP_APPLICATION_PATH.'/modules/g/views/layouts');
$this->_helper->layout->setLayout('dinges');

Do not render a view:

$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);

To get to the view in a controller plugin:

$viewObj = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getParam('bootstrap')->getResource('view');
