Hello,
Placing your helpers under views/helpers is just an option. If you
want to specify your own location, you have to prepare a Zend_View
object in your bootstrap (or plugin) and use its addHelper() method,
then inject the object into the ViewRenderer with the setView()
method.
However, specifying the default prefix as Zend_View_Helper for helpers
placed under views/helpers/ doesn't make much sense since Zend prefix
is occupied by the official Zend Framework components, so if I wanted
to place helpers there at all (it's more likely that I have my own
library), I think the best would be to use nothing as default
namespace.
Another thing is that, if there's a directory to place my
site-specific view helpers and filters, why isn't there a place for my
action helpers and plugins? It would be very convinient to use these
instead adding my plugins and helpers manually in the bootstrap -- and
since I don't have extended/own classes in my library, only
plugins/helpers/filters I could eliminate the need of that directory.
