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

Thanks for the tip

I extended Zend_View_Helper_Catmenu to Zend_View_Helper_Abstract.

class Zend_View_Helper_Catmenu extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
public function Catmenu($cats)
{
$catMenu='';
$link = '';

foreach ($cats as $cat)
{
$link = $this->view->url(array('controller' => 'cats', 'action' =>
'index', 'cat' => $cat['cat_url']));
$catMenu .= "<li> \"$link\" $cat[cat] </li>";
}

return $catMenu;
}

}

The main reason for doing this is to use $this->_request->getQuery('cat')
from the controller and I still can't use it and instead rely on
$this->_request->getParam('cat')

Any ideas on this?

thanks
