There are 2 different layout template . public template ( index.blade.php ) and admin template ( main.blade.php ) .
All files location at : protected/app/views/layouts/

Both of layouts template almost having same structure , except admin template( main.blade.php ) having sidebar menu

Render content into public template

class YourController extends BaseController {
	protected $layout = "layouts.index";

	function yourFucntion ()
	{
		$data = array( );
		$this->layout->nest('content','folder.yourtemplate','$data')
	}
}

Render content into Admin template

class YourController extends BaseController {
	protected $layout = "layouts.main";

	function yourFucntion ()
	{
		$data = array( );
		$this->layout->nest('content','folder.yourtemplate','$data')
	}
}

Using 2 template inside one controller

class YourController extends BaseController {
	/* Default layout */
	protected $layout = "layouts.main";

	function yourFunction ()
	{
		$data = array( );
		$this->layout->nest('content','folder.yourtemplate','$data');
	}

	function yourFunction ()
	{
		// Change template to public template
		$this->layout = View::make('layouts.index');
		
		$data = array( );
		$this->layout->nest('content','folder.yourtemplate','$data')
	}

}
