[FIXED] How to set a layout for a particular controller action or view in yii?

Issue

Well, this part is very important. I'm working on a project with YII. I faced a problem like, I was trying to set one of my action in controller with a layout. 1st of all, this action not even taking the default layout mentioned, where another action actionIndex() is working fine on the same controller. Then I tried for $this->layout='//layouts/new' in the controller even triend it on the view rendering to the controller. That's even not working. I checked whether it returns any $content to the layout new.php or not. But it's not even coming to new.php. die() is not working even if I put it on the 1st line of the layout. I need help on this.

Solution

 public function actionTest() {
        $this->layout = 'new';
        $this->render('test');

    }

create new layout in views/layouts folder.
