Hey Aaron,
After taking a more critical look at your setup, it looks like I gave you
incomplete advice. My apologies for this.
The PHP files that perform the processing should be stored in
BASE_PATH . "/library/App/View/Helper/LoggedInAs.php"
The location of the files that perform the HTML output should be placed in
APPLICATION_PATH . "/views/scripts/partials/loggedInAs.phtml"
These are known as view helper partial files. If you need to perform any HTML
output, generate your array of data in the PHP file and pass the result of that
as an array to the view partial. This will help you follow more closely the MVC
pattern. In order to pass data to a partial and extract the HTML output, follow
the example:
<?php
class App_View_Helper_Example extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
// Let's assume $this->view was set in the __construct and contains
// an instance of Zend_View.
public function example($name, $value = null)
{
$data = array(
'name' => $name,
'value' => $value,
);
return $this->view->partial('partials/loggedInAs.phtml', $data);
}
}
?>
On a side note, there is a more consolidated method of defining the location of
the view scripts on a per-module basis:
resources.layout.viewBasePathSpec = APPLICATION_DIR "modules/:module/views"
The above line should go in your application.ini. This will be effective for
each module you have and may create.
Finally, in your bootstrap, you will want to add the view helper prefix path so
that Zend_View can load the PHP processor. Zend_Layout uses an instance of
Zend_View to render the data, which is why it's looking for a *view* helper ;)
Add the following to your application/Bootstrap.php to add the prefix paths to
your view helper:
<?php
/**
* Initializes the Views
* @return Zend_View
*/
protected function _initViews()
{
$this->bootstrap('layout');
$view = $this->getResource('layout')->getView();
$view->addHelperPath(
'App/View/Helper',
'App_View_Helper'
);
}
?>
This should get you on your way now :)
Hope this helps,
