couple of questions on this?
1) Where do I find out such recommended practices?
2) My own code breaks when I switch it to init() rather than the
constructor... changing this

public function __construct($options = null)
{
// Path setting for custom decorations
$this->addElementPrefixPath('MyApp_Form_Decorator',
'MyApp/Form/Decorator/',
'decorator');

// Path string for custom form elements
$this->addPrefixPath('MyApp_Form_Element',
'MyApp/Form/Element/',
'element');

$this->_setupTranslation();

parent::__construct($options);

$this->setAttrib('accept-charset', 'UTF-8');
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Form'
));
}

to this:

public function init() {
{
// Path for custom decorations
$this->addElementPrefixPath('MyApp_Form_Decorator',
'MyApp/Form/Decorator/',
'decorator');

// Path string for custom form elements
$this->addPrefixPath('MyApp_Form_Element',
'MyApp/Form/Element/',
'element');

$this->_setupTranslation();

$this->setAttrib('accept-charset', 'UTF-8');
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
'Form'
));
}

gives me errors because my paths aren't set early enough I think ('Plugin by
name MyPluginName was not found in the registry')

Am I missing something - it has me stumped as to why its not working. The
stack shows init() being called immediately after the parent constructor

...
#3 ...MyApp\library\Zend\Form.php(223): MyApp_Form_AuthorLogin->init()
#4 ...MyApp\application\controllers\AuthorController.php(7):
Zend_Form->__construct()
...

Any ideas?
