[fw-mvc] Re: [fw-core] Help required with Zend_Form

Hi Raavi

I think this is meant for fw-mvc -- I could be wrong.

The way I like to tackle this problem is by creating my own element type.

So I'd say something like

$image = new App_Form_Element_ImageList('images'), where
App_Form_Element_ImageList is defined as follows:

class App_Form_Element_ImageList extends Zend_Form_Element_Xhtml {
protected $_helper = 'FormImageList'; ... }

You'd then have to create a view helper for it, so something like

class App_View_Helper_FormImageList extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { ... }

If your image list requires JS, you can add that to the view helper.

Hope that gives you a start!
