Magento: Block unsetChild for all children?

block, layout, magento, unset

Solution

Don't be afraid to read the source file of the base block class.

#File: app/code/core/Mage/Core/Block/Abstract.php
public function unsetChildren()
{
    $this->_children       = array();
    $this->_sortedChildren = array();
    return $this;
}

Myriad answers in those methods.

Problem

I am aware of: ``` <action method="unsetChild"><name>as</name></action> ``` Is it possible to remove all children in one line? e.g: ``` <action method="unsetChild"><name>*</name></action> ``` Or something similar..? UPDATE - ANSWER: ``` <action method="unsetChildren"/> ``` Seems to do the trick reasonably well..
