I throw a Zend_View object in the registry, and then access this from my

controllers can set values in the view that are unused in their
individual view, but used later in the sitewide template.
Then, I use a dispatchLoopShutdown() plugin to inject any generated
content into a sitwide template:


    class SiteTemplatePlugin extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
    {
        public function dispatchLoopShutdown()
        {
            $response = Zend_Controller_Front:;getInstance()->getResponse();
            $view = Zend_Registry::get('view');
            $view->content = $response->getBody();
            $response->setBody($view->render('site.phtml'));
        }
    }

Which poses a problem when you want to send back json (or whatever) and 
you don't want a site wide template :)
