Got it working, but it leaves a little to be desired:
Objective:
Filter the output after all rendering has happened.
Initial thoughts:
First thought:
Look at views/filters/ .. hmm, focused on Input Filtering, not
Output filtering...
-- Output filtering is a very handy thing for some views.
Second choice:
Look into Helpers .. hmm, not really in the rendering chain, part
of the rendering process.
Third choice:
Plugin .. gack. Ok, it does work. But, I'm now faced with:
IndexController {
function init() { create and initialize the plugin }
}
Why is it in the init() step (it'll probably move to the postDispatch()
step) it's because it's a per-view dependant behavior. I can either
create the filter in the main dispatch and then disable, or enable on a
case by case basis...
Final thought:
* Could it be possible to have a mechansim that is based on the
Zend_Filter system that can do output filtering of data. Is it already
in plans?
