In your bootstrap or an early-running plugin (routeStartup(),
routeShutdown(), dispatchLoopStartup()), either create your own view
object and feed it into the ViewRenderer, or pull the view object from
the ViewRenderer and set a base path:
// first option:
$view = new Zend_View(array('basePath' => 'path/to/base/views'));
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer')->setView($view);
// second option:
$viewRenderer =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer');
$viewRenderer->initView();
$viewRenderer->view->setBasePath('path/to/base/views');
