Here is a "manipulated" version of my layout file (in other words, I have
replaced some PHP code with hard-coded values in order to shorten its length):
<html>
<head>
<?= $this->headTitle() . "\n"; ?>
<?= $this->headMeta() . "\n"; ?>
<?= $this->headLink() . "\n"; ?>
<?= $this->headStyle() . "\n"; ?>
<?
if ( $this->dojo()->isEnabled() ):
$this->dojo()->setCdnBase( Zend_Dojo::CDN_BASE_GOOGLE )
->setCdnDojoPath( Zend_Dojo::CDN_DOJO_PATH_GOOGLE )
->addStyleSheetModule( 'dijit.themes.tundra' )
->useCdn();
echo $this->dojo() . "\n";
endif;
?>
<?= $this->headScript() . "\n"; ?>
</head>
<body class="tundra">
<div id="main">
<div>
<form>
<select name="setQuarterID"
onChange="updateQuarterID()"/>
<option value="2">2008: Quarter 3</option>
<option value="3">2008: Quarter 4</option>
</select>
</form>
<?
$this->dojo()->enable()
->requireModule( 'dojo.rpc.JsonService' );
$this->headScript()->captureStart(); ?>
function updateQuarterID()
{
var jsonQuarterSelect = new
dojo.rpc.JsonService( '/manage/json/environment' );
console.log(
jsonQuarterSelect.setQuarterID() );
}
<? $this->headScript()->captureEnd() ?>
</div>
<div id="content">
<?= $this->layout()->content ?>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>
If I call the following from any of the view scripts associated with
controllers, then the expected Dojo-related code is placed in/near the header
of my document:
<?
$this->dojo()->enable()
->requireModule(
'dojo.rpc.JsonService' );
$this->headScript()->captureStart(); ?>
function demoRpc()
{
var myObject = new dojo.rpc.JsonService( 'manage/json/environment' );
console.log( myObject.setQuarterID() );
}
<? $this->headScript()->captureEnd() ?>
However, if I place the same code WITHIN the actual layout file itself, so that
it is above the <?= $this->layout()->content ?> call let's say, and I remove it
from the aforementioned view script (so won't be called/rendered twice), then
the expected Dojo-related code is not displayed in/near the head. Maybe I'm
not understanding how all of the pieces are being rendered and in what order
they are, but shouldn't I be able to call this from the layout itself? How
does this differ from a view in that aren't they "put back together" at the end?
