Volt - templates extending

I use Phalcon PHP and Volt Template Engine and I got problem with templates extending. This is what i want to do:

Base template:

// index.volt

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head> [...] </head>
<body>
  <div>
    [...]
    <div class="row">

      <div class="col-sm-2"> {% block leftBlock %}{% endblock %} </div>

      <div class="col-sm-8"> 
        {% block content %} {{ content() }} {% endblock %} 
      </div>

      <div class="col-sm-2"> {% block rightBlock %}{% endblock %} </div>
    </div>
  </div>

[...]

Then controller's template:

// layouts/controller.volt

{% block leftBlock %}
  {{ partial("menus/fooMenu") }}
{% endblock %}

{% block content %}
  {{ content() }}
{% endblock %}

I'd like to replace content from leftBlock with menu, but i when i do this i got menu in content block. I'm aware it's because of using content() method but i can't find another way to use templating.

When i put {% extends "index.volt" %} at the beginning of controller.volt I got whole content form index.volt in controller view including even head tag.

What is proper way to extending templates in that way?

i'm afraid you confused layout and template concept. This is slightly different things in phalcon.

You should revise https://docs.phalconphp.com/ru/latest/reference/views.html#rendering-levels page. Especially rendering levels chapter to achieve what you want.
