I started experimenting with CakePHP version 2.x, I created a default.ctp layout file in View/Layouts inside of which I have codes like:
echo $this->fetch('css');
but I keep getting the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method View::fetch() in C:\wamp\www\.......
I tried creating a block for this css in my view file like:
$this->start('css');
$this->Html->css('home_page', null, array('inline' => false));
$this->end();
But when I do this I get the following error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined method View::start() in C:\wamp\www\.......
Any help please?!!!
Thank you
View::fetch() is available since 2.1, what is your version?
I dont think you need fetch, start, end for including css, you can just use:
$this->Html->css(array('home_page.css'));
//OR
echo $this->fetch('css'); //from version 2.1
Ref: Css CakePHP
The book is a little ahead of the release atm! fetch() is from 2.1 code, which is still alpha.
Try generating a default layout using cake's bake tool and study that to see how 2.0 does it, and make sure do you don't follow bits of the book which say they are new in 2.1 until you are using the 2.1 codebase.
