Here is how was able to get my extended controller to work
<?php
class App_Controller extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
protected $_redirector;
protected $_flashMessenger = null;
public function init()
{
parent::init();
$this->_flashMessenger =
$this->_helper->getHelper('FlashMessenger');
$this->_redirector = $this->_helper->getHelper('Redirector');
$this->initView();
}
protected function flash($message,$to)
{
$this->_flashMessenger->addMessage($message);
$this->_redirector->gotoUrl($to);
}
protected function setMessages()
{
$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
$layout->messages = join("
",$this->_flashMessenger->getMessages());
return;
}
public function postDispatch()
{
parent::postDispatch();
$this->setMessages();
}
}
$layout = Zend_Layout::getMvcInstance();
$layout->messages = join(" ",$this->_flashMessenger->getMessages());
Then I added this to my Layout.phtml
<?php if($this->layout()->messages != ''){
echo '<div class="flashmessages">';
echo $this->layout()->messages;
echo '</div>';
}?>
