Laravel define default layout from controller in good way

Question

I googled two hours, but not found answer. Maybe you can help.

When I define in MyController:

class MyController extends Base_Cont         


        

Answer 1

 class BaseController extends Controller {

/**
 * Setup the layout used by the controller.
 *
 * @return void
 */

/*Set a layout properties here, so you can globally
  call it in all of your Controllers*/
protected $layout = 'layouts.default';

protected function setupLayout()
{
    if ( ! is_null($this->layout))
    {
        $this->layout = View::make($this->layout);
    }
}

}

class HomeController extends BaseController {

public function showHome()
{   
    /*now you can control your Layout it here */
     $this->layout->title= "Hi I am a title"; //add a dynamic title 
     $this->layout->content = View::make('home');
}

}
