You didn't read my reply correctly.
First, you have specified the full class name when setting the helper
paths -- when you need to specify the class *prefix* -- everything
leading up to the helper name.
So, your helper class is "My_Action_Helper_Initializer". The class
prefix is "My_Action_Helper", and the helper name is "Initializer". You
need to use the prefix, "My_Action_Helper", in your configuration.
Second, do ONE of the approaches: EITHER use configuration OR create the
resource method in your bootstrap, NOT both.
If you do configuration, do this:
resources.frontcontroller.actionhelperpaths.My_Action_Helper =
APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers/helpers"
If you create a resource method, do this:
protected function _initActionHelpers()
{
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addPath(
APPLICATION_PATH . "/controllers/helpers",
"My_Action_Helper"
);
}
Either one of those approaches *will* work.
Finally, a note: if this particular helper has preDispatch(),
postDispatch(), or init() hooks, you will want to actually instantiate
it and attach it to the helper broker during bootstrapping. I would do
it as follows: use the front controller configuration as described
above, and then create a resource method as follows:
protected function _initActionHelpers()
{
$this->bootstrap('FrontController');
$initializer =
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('Initializer');
}
This will ensure it's registered prior to any action controllers.

If you follow my directions above, you can group your helpers under that
directory, and all will be available.
