Zend: Where/how can I register custom view helpers?

zend-framework

Solution

Using `application.ini` is probably the best way to define these. I put all my view helpers inside my library folder:

includePaths.library = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library"
autoloadernamespaces.0 = "SNTrack_"

;  -- Note, these are the only resources.view lines I have...
resources.view.doctype = "XHTML1_STRICT"
resources.view.helperPath.SNTrack_View_Helper = APPLICATION_PATH "/../library/SNTrack/View/Helper"

Directory structure:

/
  application/
  library/
    SNTrack/
      View/
        Helper/
          Test.php

View:

 $this->test('test')

SNTrack/View/Helper/Test.php:

 class SNTrack_View_Helper_Test extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract {
   public function test($args) { return $args; }
 }

Problem

In my `layout.phtml` file I have : ``` <?php echo $this->Test(); ?> ``` I have created a Test view helper at `application/views/helpers/Test.php` ``` <?php class My_View_Helper_Test extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { public function Test() { return 'test'; } } ``` And my config file @ `configs/application.ini`: ``` resources.view[] = '' resources.view.helperPath = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/helpers" ``` Error I get: Zend_Loader_PluginLoader_Exception: Plugin by name 'Test' was not found in the registry; used paths: Zend_View_Helper_: Zend/View/Helper/:./views/helpers/ in /usr/share/php/Zend/Loader/PluginLoader.php on line 406 On a similar note I can't register my admin view helper either.. ``` resources.view.helperPath.Admin_View_Helper = APPLICATION_PATH "/modules/admin/views/helpers" ``` My `modules/admin/views/helpers/AdminPanel.php`: ``` <?php class My_View_Helper_AdminPanel extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { public function AdminPanel() { return 'test'; } } ``` Do I have no choice but to do this in the Bootstrap with addHelperPath? If so could someone demonstrate how I would using my paths?
