    <p>It seems like everything is being properly configured and I can get the output that I want but I would prefer not echoing the layout object directly from my controller:</p> <p>Here is what Im working with config.xml</p> <pre><code>&lt;config&gt; &lt;modules&gt; &lt;ALS_Bestselling&gt; &lt;version&gt;0.1.0&lt;/version&gt; &lt;/ALS_Bestselling&gt; &lt;/modules&gt; &lt;global&gt; &lt;models&gt; &lt;bestselling&gt; &lt;class&gt;ALS_Bestselling_Model&lt;/class&gt; &lt;/bestselling&gt; &lt;/models&gt; &lt;blocks&gt; &lt;bestselling&gt; &lt;class&gt;ALS_Bestselling_Block&lt;/class&gt; &lt;/bestselling&gt; &lt;/blocks&gt; &lt;helpers&gt; &lt;bestselling&gt; &lt;class&gt;ALS_Bestselling_Helper&lt;/class&gt; &lt;/bestselling&gt; &lt;/helpers&gt; &lt;/global&gt; &lt;frontend&gt; &lt;layout&gt; &lt;updates&gt; &lt;als_bestselling&gt; &lt;file&gt;bestselling.xml&lt;/file&gt; &lt;/als_bestselling&gt; &lt;/updates&gt; &lt;/layout&gt; &lt;/frontend&gt; &lt;default&gt; &lt;web&gt; &lt;routers&gt; &lt;bestselling_router&gt; &lt;area&gt;frontend&lt;/area&gt; &lt;class&gt;ALS_Bestselling_Controller_Router&lt;/class&gt; &lt;/bestselling_router&gt; &lt;/routers&gt; &lt;/web&gt; &lt;shorturls&gt; &lt;/shorturls&gt; &lt;/default&gt; &lt;/config&gt; </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>#File: Controller/Router.php &lt;?php class ALS_Bestselling_Controller_Router extends Mage_Core_Controller_Varien_Router_Abstract { private static $_module = 'bestsellers'; private static $_realModule = 'ALS_Bestselling'; private static $_controller = 'index'; private static $_controllerClass = 'ALS_Bestselling_Controller_Index'; private static $_action = 'view'; public function initControllerRouters($observer) { $front = $observer-&gt;getEvent()-&gt;getFront(); $front-&gt;addRouter('bestselling', $this); } public function collectRoutes() { // nothing to do here } public function match(Zend_Controller_Request_Http $request) { $this-&gt;_request = $request; $front = $this-&gt;getFront(); $identifier = trim($request-&gt;getPathInfo(), '/'); if(!substr($identifier,0,strlen('bestsellers')) == 'bestsellers'){ return false; }else{ //$rewrite = Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite'); $route_params = str_replace ( "bestsellers/" , "" , $identifier ); $rewrite = Mage::getModel('core/url_rewrite'); $rewrite-&gt;setStoreId(1); $rewrite-&gt;loadByRequestPath($route_params); $category_route = $rewrite-&gt;getIdPath(); //If no route exists for category send to a different router if(!$category_route != ""){ return false; }//Otherwise send the parameters to the request else{ $id = str_replace ( "category/" , "" , $category_route ); $this-&gt;_request-&gt;setParam('id',$id); } $this-&gt;_setRequestRoute(); $this-&gt;_dispatch(); return true; } } protected function _setRequestRoute() { $this-&gt;_request-&gt;setModuleName(self::$_module); $this-&gt;_request-&gt;setControllerName(self::$_controller); $this-&gt;_request-&gt;setActionName(self::$_action); $this-&gt;_request-&gt;setControllerModule(self::$_realModule); } protected function _dispatch() { $this-&gt;_request-&gt;setDispatched(true); $controller = Mage::getControllerInstance(self::$_controllerClass, $this-&gt;_request, $this-&gt;_response); $controller-&gt;dispatch(self::$_action); } } </code></pre> <p>and</p> <pre><code>File: Controller/Index.php class ALS_Bestselling_Controller_Index extends Mage_Core_Controller_Front_Action{ public function viewAction(){ $layout = Mage::app()-&gt;getLayout(); $layout-&gt;generateXml()-&gt;generateBlocks(); $render = $layout-&gt;getBlock('root')-&gt;toHtml(); echo $render; } } </code></pre> <p>The previous works but the following:</p> <pre><code>$update = $this-&gt;getLayout()-&gt;getUpdate(); $update-&gt;addHandle('default'); $this-&gt;renderLayout(); </code></pre> <p>throws an error Call to a member function appendBody() on a non-object.</p> <p>Is this how I am suppose to do this or is there something missing from the recipe?</p>

    1. COMaybe some of you are wondering how this might benefit someone. Here is how this works. Imagine you want to show some information tied back to a particular category for example (best selling products, faq's, product reviews, top ranked) but you want to have a unique url. You could do something like category/?showme=bestselling That is ugly. For seo purposes you probably would want to do /bestselling/supplements/probiotics This router grabs everything after bestselling and checks it to see if its a category and then sends the category id to your controller. Still working on a solution.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
