You can pass objects to partials, just pass them in an array:
<?= $this->partial('mypartial.phtml', array('topic' => $topic')) ?>
The partial helper will take the keys of that array and create view vars out
of them, so you can access it like this from within the partial:
<div><?= $this->topic->getDescription() ?>
If you want to use objects with a partial loop, you can call setObjectKey()
on the partialLoop helper and pass in an array of objects:
<?=
$this->partialLoop()->setObjectKey('topic')->partialLoop('mypartial.phtml',
$topics) ?>
