Re: [fw-mvc] Capture Full Output from Layout and Script

Set the stack index of your plugin to 101.

Also, I just realized it would probably be easier to create your hook at dispatchLoopShutdown, which runs after the last postDispatch() is run.

I'm not getting very far with this.

There has to be a way to do this though.

I've tried two approaches.  The first being trying to set the
Zend_Layout::_pluginClass to be my custom plugin (which extends
Zend_Layout_Controller_Plugin_Layout):

$this->view->layout()->setPluginClass('PDFGen');

That didn't seem to do anything.

Then I tried to just register it as a plugin:

$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->registerPlugin(new PDFGen());

The first problem is when I try to register the plugin, I can't set it
to run last because the normal layout is set to run last (stackIndex:
99).  If I try to get it to run at 98, it hasn't done the rendering
from the Layout Plugin yet.  Is there a way to re-order the stackIndex
of the plugins?

Or any other ideas?
