Re: [fw-mvc] Proper way to change view script within controller action?

Hi,

I usually call $this->_helper->viewRenderer('view-script') to set
which view script I want to render.
$this->render('view-script') would have to be called at the end as you
said. If you are looking to get the contents of a rendered view script
in a variable, you can use $viewScript = $this->view-
>render('scriptdir/view-script.phtml');
