So, How I can do that ?

Answer 1

your "main layout": app/views/[controller].volt

your "another layout": app/views/layouts/[controller].volt

your "page content": app/views/[controller]/[action].volt

Answer 2

You can write in your views/index.volt:

{% include 'layouts/' ~ config.view.theme ~ '/header' %}
{% include 'layouts/' ~ config.view.theme ~ '/body' %}
{% include 'layouts/' ~ config.view.theme ~ '/footer' %}

So, you can manage your theme from your controller base like:

function initialize()
{
    $controller = $this->dispatcher->getControllerName();
    switch ($controller) {
        case 'controller1':
        case 'controller2':
            $this->config->view->theme = 'mytheme_with_menu';
            break;
        case 'controller3':
        case 'controller4':
            $this->config->view->theme = 'mytheme_without_menu';
            break;
    }
}
