Application development questions

Hi, loving using Vanilla but a couple of questions when trying to create my application.

1. How do I redirect a user to a Not Found page? At the moment I'm doing something similar to:

if ($id) {
$this->Render();
}
else {
// Redirect to not found...
}

2. When calling $this->Render() is it possible to change the layout, for example the User Profile has the sidebar on the left rather than the right, how it this accessed via $this->Render()?

Thanks for any help!

When a record is not found I'd do the following:

if (!$id)
   throw NotFoundException();

This will render the default page not found page in the current url. It will also work when accessing the page as json.

With regards to your layout question: the user profile renders the way it does using css rules. The body of the page always gets assigned an id and class that you can cascade from.

Thank you! Exactly what I needed, with regards to adding to the sidebar can this be done in the controller or view?
