  Try creating a "/modules/myModule/views/_layouts/myView.php" folder and then adding "view_module" => 'myModule' in the array of parameters (3rd parameter)

  Unfortunately I cannot seem to get it working. It might be too much demanding, but it's very urgent for me to get this to work. Could you please do me a favor and modify the source code of this simple module: http://www.sitepoint.com/getting-started-with-fuel-cms-2/
  and make it render one of their views from one of their controllers, using the default header and footer of fuel cms? I really appreciate any help!

  Ok I could load the module view from its controller using the following method:

  $this->fuel->pages->render('registeration', $vars, array('view_module' => 'registeration'));

  Here is the source code of my view file:

  <?php fuel_set_var('layout', 'main');  echo 'hello';?>

  The main layout is being read and applied from /fuel/application/views/_layouts/main.php:

  
  <?php $this->load->view('_blocks/header')?>
  	
  		<?php echo fuel_var('body', 'This is a default layout. To change this layout go to the fuel/application/views/_layouts/main.php file.'); ?>
  	
  <?php $this->load->view('_blocks/footer')?>
  

  The HTML of header and footer blocks are loaded, but the "css" and "js" fuel functions in header and footer blocks are not recognized and I get these errors:

  
  
  
  Severity: Notice
  Message: Undefined variable: css
  Filename: core/Loader.php(332) : eval()'d code
  Line Number: 39
  
  A PHP Error was encountered
  Severity: Notice
  Message: Undefined variable: css
  Filename: core/Loader.php(332) : eval()'d code
  Line Number: 40
  
  ...

  Severity: Notice
  Message: Undefined variable: js
  Filename: core/Loader.php(332) : eval()'d code
  Line Number: 25
  
  ...
  
  

  How can I get this fixed?

  The reason the css and js functions where undefined was:
  In my controller class, I was inheriting from CI_Controller instead of Fuel_base_controller.
