In my controller, I have a postDispatch to consolidate my FlashMessenger messages:
public function postDispatch()
{
$messages = $this->_helper->getHelper ( 'FlashMessenger' )
->getMessages ();
if ( $this->_helper->getHelper ( 'FlashMessenger' )
->hasCurrentMessages () )
{
$messages = array_merge ( $messages, $this->_helper->getHelper ( 'FlashMessenger' )
->getCurrentMessages () );
$this->_helper->getHelper ( 'FlashMessenger' )
->clearCurrentMessages ();
}
$this->view->alert = $messages;
}
I want to make this into a Controller plugin.
UPDATE: I realized why I need this - I want to pass my flash messages in JSON when called by the JSON context. Unless the messages are added to the View object, I don't receive the messages.
I was able to get the messages into an array, but I don't know how to pass them to the view:
class Plugin_FlashMessenger extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function postDispatch($request)
{
$flashmessenger = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper ( 'FlashMessenger' );
$messages = $flashmessenger->getMessages ();
if ( $flashmessenger->hasCurrentMessages () )
{
$messages = array_merge ( $messages, $flashmessenger->getCurrentMessages () );
$flashmessenger->clearCurrentMessages ();
}
// THIS LINE IS WRONG. HOW DO I SEND $messages TO THE VIEW?
$this->view->alert = $messages;
}
}
Bonus question - is this the right way to accomplish this? Thanks!
