Re: [fw-mvc] Re: View Helper classes - help! 'Plugin by name... not found in the registry'

Hi all,

Thanks very much for your responses! My coworker/developer did this as follows from bootstrap:

/* Set helper path for our custom helpers */
$view = new Zend_View;
$view->addHelperPath('../application/views/helpers/', 'My_View_Helper');
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer')->setView($view);

However if the above is not what is recommended for any reason (e.g. Wil Moore's recommendation below is different) please feel free to let me know :)

Additionally, another related question:

2) If I wanted to code up a different functionality which needs to be accessed by the controller, and use a shared class file with functions that I can access from different areas of the site, what would be your recommendation? Would you use a normal class file and include it from the controllers where you need to use it, or would you use an "action helper" (http://devzone.zend.com/article/3350) , or something else?

Thanks,
Rishi

This is best done as a bootstrap resource. See the section "Getting started
with Bootstrap Resources" in the following article for more info:
http://weierophinney.net/matthew/archives/230-Quick-Start-to-Zend_Application_Bootstrap.html

The main take-away from the article is the following few lines:

Bootstrap resources may be one of two things:

    * A protected method in the bootstrap class prefixed with "_init"; e.g.,
"protected function _initFoo()"
    * A class implementing Zend_Application_Resource_Resource


This should be enough to get you moving in the right direction.
