No issues anymore. It works like a charm. To document, here is how I do
things now and hope this is the best possible practice:
1) Relevant parts of my bootstrap file:
// Set up the default layout
$layout = Zend_Layout::startMvc();
$layout->setLayoutPath(GGV_PATH_ROOT . '/application/views/layouts');
// Set up Dojo
$view = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance()->getView();
Zend_Dojo::enableView($view);
$view->dojo()->setLocalPath($config->www->baseurl .
'/js/dojo/dojo/dojo.js')
->addStyleSheetModule('dijit.themes.tundra')
->disable();
// Set up the front controller and dispatch
$front = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance();
$front->registerPlugin(new LoggerPlugin());
$front->throwExceptions(false);
$front->setControllerDirectory(GGV_PATH_ROOT .
'/application/controllers');
$front->setBaseUrl($config->www->baseurl);
$front->dispatch();
2) My layout script:
<?= $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">
<?= $this->render('partials/html_header.phtml') ?>
<?= $this->layout()->content ?>
<?= $this->inlineScript() ?>
<?= $this->render('partials/html_footer.phtml') ?>
</body>
</html>
3) My action view script:
<?php
// Enable Dojo
$this->dojo()->enable();
?>
<div>
<?= $this->dateTextBox('foo', '2008-07-11', array('required' => true)) ?>
</div>
4) My action controller:
public function loginAction()
{
$this->render();
}
Thanks!!
