I am creating a module called Mdeprojects_Discount. I have added the following folders
app/local/Mdeprojects/Discount/[plus all relevant folders required]
app/design/frontend/mdediscount/default/layout/
app/design/frontend/mdediscount/default/template/discount/
In the layout folder I have added local.xml and that works as expected. My other layout file which I have in the folder is not loading when I call it, this has been checked by badly formatting the layout file, but I have received no errors. (cacheing is off, errors are on).
In my controller I have ran var_dump($this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles()) this returns an empty array. But I am using Commercebug and under the Layout tab and "Handles for this request" title, one of the handles returned is <mdeprojects_discount_remainder_remainder />
Why is commerce bug returning a handle and my command not returning anything? (i'm hoping if this is solved, it will also solve why my layout file isn't loading)
app/local/Mdeprojects/Discount/etc/config.xml
<config> <frontend> <routers> <mdeprojects_discount> <use>standard</use> <args> <module>Mdeprojects_Discount</module> <frontName>discount</frontName> </args> </mdeprojects_discount> </routers> <layout> <updates> <mdeprojects_remainder> <file>mdeprojects/remainder.xml</file> </mdeprojects_remainder> </updates> </layout> </frontend> </config> app/local/Mdeprojects/Discount/controllers/RemainderController.php
class Mdeprojects_Discount_RemainderController extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action { public function remainderAction() { var_dump($this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles()); $this->loadLayout()->renderLayout(); } } ===
EDIT
===
I have tried changing my controller file to
public function remainderAction() { $this->loadLayout()->renderLayout(); Zend_Debug::dump($this->getLayout()->getUpdate()->getHandles()); } this also tells me that the mdeprojects_discount_remainder_remainder handle is being called. But I am still unable to work out why my layout file is not being loaded?
