Re: [fw-mvc] question about view script

Using the headScript helper is much easier.  Use $this->headScript()->appendFile('filenameandpath.js')

then in your header use <?php echo $this->headScript(); ?>

The only thing is that you need to call appendScript before you call echo.  If you are using Zend_Layout, $this->layout()->content is called first, so if you append your script in there, and then echo it any where in your layout you will be fine.  

For example: 

In your controller have

$this->view->headScript()->appendFile('http://www.site.com/js/event.js');

then in your header.phtml file have

<?php echo $this->headScript(); ?>

Btw, there are also headTitle, headLink, headMeta, and headStyle.  All very helpful.

Hello everyone.

In my view scripts i do

<?php echo $this->render('header.phtml'); ?>
<?php echo $this->render('menu.phtml'); ?>
then page specifics
<?php echo $this->render('footer.phtml'); ?>


Now in my header.phtml i have something like:

    <?php if ($this->script){?>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.site.com/js/.<?$this->script?>."></script>
    <?php } ?>

But when i say in my controller:

$this->script = "event.js";

then it doesn't work.

My question is: how can I set the variable $this->script in my header template from within my controller?

Thanks in advance,
