I'm trying to include custom view helpers in my application but keep getting
an exception thrown.
A shortened example of my code:
class TJ_View_Helper_SpecialLink
{
public function specialLink($variables) {//relevant code here }
}
When I try and access it from a view script, I get an exception thrown in
Zend_View_Abstract _loadClass():
helper 'specialLink' not found in path.
In my bootstrap file I do the following:
$view = new Zend_View();
$view->addHelperPath($basedir.'/app/views/helpers', 'TJ_View_Helper');
and Zend_Debug::dump($view->getHelperPaths()) in the bootstrap shows in part
this:
array(2) { [0] => array(2) {
["prefix"] => string(15) "TJ_View_Helper_"
["dir"] => string(47) "/home/username/app/views/helpers/" }
Yet when I dump getHelperPaths in the IndexController, or dump
_path['helper'] in the view abstract _loadClass function:
array(2) { [0] => array(2) {
["prefix"] => string(17) "Zend_View_Helper_"
["dir"] => string(21) "../app/views/helpers/" }
This is no longer TJ, but Zend, and causes the error because _loadClass
manages to include the file, and then asks:
if (class_exists($class, false))
but $class is "Zend_View_Helper_specialLink" rather than
TJ_View_Helper_specialLink, even though it loaded the correct file. This is
because the HelperPaths are all Zend_View_Helper prefixes rather than what I
originally added and set in the bootstrap
I can solve the error by calling my class a Zend_View_Helper, but I'd rather
not do this, and the documentation suggests I should be able to use my own
prefix (and even seems to recommend it).
Any suggestions for what I'm doing wrong?
