Re: [fw-mvc] access url view helper from my custom view helper

Hi!

You should always extend a custom view helper from the base class:
Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
As soon as you do this, the view instance is available via: $this->view
and there you could use $this->view->url() as well.

Regards,

Christoph
