Hi Joshua,
There's a way! The hole Zend MVC is sometimes a bit hard to understand (I
had a pretty hard time to get into it).
I think you can do in you bootstrap like this:
$view = new Trevi_View();
$viewRenderer = new Trevi_Controller_Helper_ViewRenderer();
$viewRenderer->setViewBasePathSpec(dirname)
->setViewScriptPathSpec('/:module/:controller/:action.:suffix')
->setView($view);
So it still instance Zend_View and you replace it. But I think you can leave
with that (at least we can).
Cheers,
Leo
P.S.: Use fw-mvc for MVC related questions (at least I read more carfull
there).

Betreff: [fw-general] Subclassing Zend_View and instancing in initView();
Hello, long time lurker first time poster =)
I am having some issues getting the ball rolling with Zend Framework.
We have decided to use our own *_Controller_Action that extends
Zend_Controller_Action and in our *_Controller_Action I want to
override initView() to instance our own view object that extends
Zend_View. Unfortunately there is no way to have
Zend_Controller_Action::initView() instance anything other than
Zend_View without overriding it in my *_Controller_Action class and
duplicating its functionality.
What would be really nice is if Zend_Controller_Action had a
protected property for the name of the view class to instance, then
in your own controller you could override the default class name:
Example:
abstract class Zend_Controller_Action {
protected $view_class = 'Zend_View';
//.....
public function initView() {
//.....
$this->view = new $this->view_class(array('basePath' => $baseDir));
//.....
}
}
abstract class Foo_Controller_Action extends Zend_Controller_Action {
protected $view_class = 'Foo_View';
}
Am I missing the boat here? Is there an easier way to tell the
framework to instance a different view using a dynamic basePath by
default without having to explicitly do it in each action controller?
