Re: [fw-mvc] Creating a Zend_Dojo_View_Helper

Steven,

I have a working example for you. The following code will allow you to
create dijit.Tooltip elements:

<?php
class My_View_Helper_Tooltip extends Zend_Dojo_View_Helper_Dijit
{
protected $_dijit = 'dijit.Tooltip';

protected $_module = 'dijit.Tooltip';

public function tooltip($id, $value = null, array $params = array(),
array $attribs = array())
{
$attribs = $this->_prepareDijit($attribs, $params, null);
$html = '<div' . $this->_htmlAttribs($attribs) . '>'
. $value
. "</div>\n";

return $html;
}
}

/* and in your view scripts */

<?php echo $this->tooltip('test', null, array(
'connectId' => 'username',
'label' => 'My Tooltip',
), array(
'id' => 'test'
)); ?>

This is far from an ideal solution but it's a good start.

Matthew and others: Any comments on how to refactor this into something
worthy?

A few concerns:

* The div markup still needs to be created even when using
programmatic otherwise the main dojo helper will not attach the
params.
* The method signature for Tooltip::tooltip can definately be
tidied. $value makes no sense for a start
* The client code in the view script currently requires
$attribs['id'] to be set. This could be tidied away in the method.
