Disable layout and view render
These are two simple lines that help you to disable layout and view render for a specific action:
public function indexAction()
{
$this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
}
If you want switch off them for all actions of controller put these lines into preDispatch() method:
public function preDispatch()
{
$this->_helper->layout()->disableLayout();
$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNoRender(true);
}
