Thanks for clarifying this, guys. This seems like something that might
come up a lot over time. I know that I wrote a pre-1.5 ViewRenderer
plugin that performed this logic for me (I used an optional view
script setup, too), and it was something of a pain to dig the logic
out of ViewRenderer directly. I haven't dug into the 1.5 version yet,
but I anticipate easier going with the Layout stuff and the like.

Yes Matthew. Thank you for telling me that I've wasted 2 days of my

Just in case or might be a feedback; The last added path is supposed
to be used for rendering. But if there the default view folder
exists, it still looks and renders it first. (ZF 1.5.1)
part of $view dump;
[script] => Array
(
[0] => .\application\views\scripts\
[1] => .\templates\default\scripts\
)
So it is done with using viewRenderer but remember to remove
application/view (or whatever) folder to work as we want. Adding
another base (or script) paths works as expected.
Cheers and thanks again.

The ViewRenderer contains the view instance used for auto-rendering
and
used by Zend_Layout by default. The easiest way to setup your view
object with your own settings is to create it in the bootstrap or an
early-running plugin and register it with the ViewRenderer:
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->addScriptPath('path/to/default/scripts'); // or
addBasePath(), if you prefer
$viewRenderer =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker:;getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->setView($view);
Once you've done this, the paths you set will be available throughout
your application.
