I'm in the midst of converting a ZF2 site from using default templates into twig versions, and so far, for the main part, everything is going well, except I have some variables in Module.php defined from a bootstrap method that I'm now unable to get into the layout.twig template.
The original code that worked fine for the default templates is as:
public function bootstrapLayout(MvcEvent $e)
{
$config = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('applicationconfig');
$authService = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('AuthService');
$version = new \stdClass();
$version->major = $config['version']['major'];
$version->minor = $config['version']['minor'];
$dt = new \DateTime();
$thisYear = $dt->format('Y');
$dt->setTimestamp($config['version']['build_date']);
$version->buildDate = $dt->format('d/m/Y H:i');
$user = new \stdClass();
$user->hasIdentity = $authService->hasIdentity();
$user->username = $authService->getStorage()->read('username');
$e->getViewModel()->setVariables(array(
'version' => $version,
'thisYear' => $thisYear,
'user' => $user,
));
}
However, neither 'version', 'thisYear' nor 'user' make itself known to the twig layout template. I've searched on here and the closest resolution I came to finding was to obtain the ZfcTwigRenderer by:
$zfcTwigRenderer = $e->getApplication()->getServiceManager()->get('ZfcTwigRenderer');
but now I'm at a loss how I can utilise this and pass my defined vars through it to the layout.
Here's the content of the layout file:

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated as I've really come up against a dead end, despite trying all sorts of things for the past couple of hours.
