Currently, I'm exploring extending ViewRender's renderScript() to do
something similar.
My first attempt looks like this:
class My_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer
extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer
{
public function renderScript($script, $name = null)
{
if (null === $name) {
$name = $this->getResponseSegment();
}
$content = $this->view->render($script);
$this->view->content = $content;
$layoutTemplate = 'site.tpl.php';
$this->getResponse()->appendBody(
$this->view->render($layoutTemplate),
$name
);
$this->setNoRender();
}
}
I also have:
$viewRenderer = new My_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
$viewRenderer->setViewSuffix('tpl.php');
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer);
in my bootstrap before I first instantiate the front controller, so that
my ViewRenderer is used.
