Ok. I use Twig as a View engine and Phalcon version is 0.8

Code of adapter I got from this repository: github I made ​​a small modification in this code because I include Twig via composer. I will not describe these modifications because they are not significant.

So. My directory structure of view is very simple:

app
- views
--- index.twig
--- about
---- index.twig

Source of views/index.twig:

<html>
<head>
    <title>Phalcon PHP Framework</title>
</head>
<body>
    {% block content 'This is main page' %}
</body>
</html>

And source of views/about/index.twig:

{% extends "index.twig" %}

{% block content %}
    This is About page
{% endblock %}

Also, I have controller About (AboutController.php) with single method 

public function indexAction()

it’s empty.

Ok. Now. When I do a request for a page /about I expect to see there something like this:

This is About page

But I still see there content of views/index.twig:

This is main page

It’s a bit strange to me. I reassign the block “content”!

I did some checking in the template views/about/index.twig adding extra characters out of the block and I received an error from Twig:

A template that extends another one cannot have a body in "about/index.twig"

So. Any ideas?

P.S. I think I should call in tpl views/index.twig method {{ content() }} but Twig knows nothing about this method.

    The problem was that I was not good enough to read the documentation!

    To solve my issue I had to use render levels of templates in View component: official docs

    To use the built-in export function in Twig and use a powerful mechanism of inheritance of this engine,
    we must set level render:

    $view->setRenderLevel(Phalcon\Mvc\View::LEVEL_ACTION_VIEW);

    In this case, the engine will immediately process the contents of the template action.
