Question

I need use the same view for three different actions in controller. How can I render one view for all of actions? I googled but found nothing useful… And important is I use Kohana 3.0.11

Answer 1

What’s bad in creating the view in each action?

action_1()
{
   $view = View::factory('something');
   // rest of code
}
action_2()
{
   $view = View::factory('something');
   // rest of code
}
action_3()
{
   $view = View::factory('something');
   // rest of code
}

Alternatively you can store the view in your base controller in before action and access it in the child controller:

class Controller_Base
{
   protected $_view;

   public function before()
   {
      $this->_view = View::factory('something');
   }
}

class Controller_Yours exnteds Controller_Base
{
   public function action_1()
   {
      // use $this->_view to get it
   }

   public function action_2()
   {
      // use $this->_view to get it
   }

   public function action_3()
   {
      // use $this->_view to get it
   }
}
