Re: [fw-mvc] Named response segments in view scripts

Sounds plausible, if not a little ugly...but I can't get it to work for some odd reason...

I have an "EventsController" with an action "list"...at the end of the action, I have an actionstack with different actions from the "SideboxController"...

SideBox controller has an init() function  which looks like this:
public function init() {
        $this->render(null, 'sideboxes');         
}

Which I was hoping would output all actions from this controller into the sideboxes segment.

It seemed to work in my layout script, but in the view script (events/list.phtml) I have <?=Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getResponse()->getBody('sideboxes');?>

...which doesn't display anything!

Grab it from the response object:

   $response = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getResponse();
   $content  = $response->getBody($segmentName);
