I left out that we are also including :
$this->setDecorators(array(
'FormElements',
array('HtmlTag', array('tag' => 'dl', 'class' => 'zend_form')),
array('Description', array('placement' => 'prepend')),
'Form'
));
in the __construct, but moving this all to the init() doesnt seem to load
the decorators in time.

I was pretty much doing the same things, but included
foreach($children as $key=>$val){
$field.$key = $this->addElement('text', 'fieldname'.$key, etc....)
$group[]='fieldname'.$key;
}
$this->addDisplayGroup(
$number_group, 'groupname' ....)
and ended up getting error of:
'No valid elements specified for display group'
So once I got rid of the '$field.$key =' it all worked correctly.
Do you have any other updated resources for best practices or structure of a
large site using this framework?
thanks.
