Create a Controller which automatically renders a View Template

Koseven comes shipped with the abstract Controller_Template class which allows you to set a default template for your controller which is then rendered automatically.

Here is a little controller example:

abstract class Controller_Base extends Controller_Template {

    // Here we set our template name (we will create this one later)
    public $template = 'layout';

    public function action_index()
    {
        $template = new View('world');
        $this->template->bind('content', $template);
    }

}

Now let's create the main layout (views/layout.php):

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
    <head>
      ...
    </head>
    <body>
      <span style="color: red;">Hello, <?php $content->render() ?></span>
    </body>
</html>

And here is our content view (views/world.php)

World!

The above example will output Hello, World! in a red font.
