I am trying to find out what the best practice for using Dojo widgets in a
Zend MVC application is.
The following works:
1) In my view script xxxx.phtml I have the following:
<?php
// Render common HTML header
echo $this->render('partials/html_header.phtml');
?>
<div>
<?= $this->dateTextBox('foo', '2008-07-11', array('required' => true)) ?>
<?= $this->dojo() ?>
<?= $this->render('partials/html_footer.phtml'); ?>
2) My partial html_header.phtml looks like this:
<?= $this->doctype('XHTML1_STRICT') ?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";>
<head>
<?= $this->headTitle($this->page_title) ?>
<?php $this->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-Type', 'text/html;
charset=UTF-8'); echo $this->headMeta(); ?>
<?php
$this->headLink()->appendStylesheet(Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getBaseUrl()
. '/css/common.css'); echo $this->headLink(); ?>
<?= $this->headStyle() ?>
<?= $this->dojo() ?>
<?= $this->headScript() ?>
</head>
<body class="tundra">
3) In my controller base class in the init method I do this:
Zend_Dojo::enableView($this->view);
$this->view->dojo()->setLocalPath(Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getBaseUrl()
. '/js/dojo/dojo/dojo.js')
->addStyleSheetModule('dijit.themes.tundra')
->disable();
4) When needed in the specific controller action method, I enable dojo:
public function xxxxAction()
{
// Enable Dojo
$this->view->dojo()->enable();
This works, but the this->dojo in my header is pointless. It only includes
the main dojo.js. If I don't print this->dojo() after I declare my Dojo
widget in the view script, the dijit code :
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
dojo.require("dijit.form.DateTextBox");
dojo.require("dojo.parser");
dojo.addOnLoad(function() {
dojo.forEach(zendDijits, function(info) {
var n = dojo.byId(info.id);
if (null != n) {
dojo.attr(n, dojo.mixin({ id: info.id }, info.params));
}
})
dojo.parser.parse();
});
var zendDijits =
[{"id":"foo","params":{"required":"true","dojoType":"dijit.form.DateTextBox"}}];
//]]>
does not get generated. Somehow this does not look right. All the examples I
have seen just have the call to dojo() in their respective layout scripts.
Is that only when I use ZendLayout that the layout content gets parsed
first?
