Get rendered view within block controller

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi!

Is there any chance in my block controller save method, to get the rendered view back as string to work with? I first thought of the display method, but I can't call it from the block controller ...

Thanks
Marcus

You can use Concrete\Core\Block\View\BlockView;

$b = $this->getBlockObject();
$bv = new BlockView($b);


In concrete/src/Area/Area.php in the display method, you can see how it is used in the core. The render method.

Note that the renderViewContents does not return the content but uses echo.
