{{ layout }} not showing?

[stephenmeehanuk]

Hi

I often use this to show what template is in use during development

{{ if environment === 'local' }}
{{ current_template }}
{{ /if }}

I thought it'd be useful to also output the {{layout}} too

But it doesn't seem to work everywhere?

{{ if environment === 'local' }}
{{ current_template }}
{{ layout }}
{{ /if }}

For example pages.yaml contains this

title: Pages
template: pages/show
layout: layouts/triple

But when I visit a page, even after php artisan optimize:clear my {{ layout }} is blank?

I've tried creating a new page, {{ current_template }} shows but {{ layout }} remains blank.

Both {{ current_template }} and {{ layout }} work when I visit the home page.

Any ideas?

On the page where it's not working, is that a custom route or an entry page?

[stephenmeehanuk]

It's an entry page. It's just a basic entry in the pages collection. No custom routes.

Does your home page have layout in the yaml?

[stephenmeehanuk]

It does, yes.

id: home
blueprint: home
title: Home
layout: layouts/layout
template: templates/home

[jasonvarga]

We don't provide the layout variable explicitly. You're only getting it on entry that actually have a layout variable in their data. (Same thing happens with template)

We could provide a current_layout, like we do with current_template. No one had ever asked for it before. 😄

See #7623

Thanks for letting me know. Does this mean current_layout will be available in a future release?

[jasonvarga]

Yes
