Re: [fw-mvc] problem with action helpers and custom front controller

Rolando,

If your custom action controller extends Zend_Controller_Front you must
be careful that you are not overloading the static property
::$_instance, because the controller action helpers grab internally the
controller singleton from Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance() and if
you overload it Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance() will create a new
front controller instance instead of using the one you created.

I'm assuming that you are initiating your custom front controller in
your bootstrap with something like:
My_Controller_Front::getInstance();

When you do this, Zend_Controller_Front::$_instance should have your
custom front controller.

As for the action controllers, they must have the method
setFrontController(), are you sure your action controllers are extending
Zend_Action_Controller?

Regards,

Diego
