Zend overwrite default view object

Question

How can i overwrite the default view object in zend framework so i could have the custom one.

class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap {

function _initViewHelpers() { 
    $this->bootstrap('view');
    $view = $this->getResource('view');
    $view->doctype('HTML4_STRICT');
    $view->setHelperPath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/helpers', '');        
    $view->headMeta()->appendHttpEquiv('Content-type', 'text/html;charset=utf-8')
                     ->appendName('description', 'Zend Framework');
    $view->headTitle()->setSeparator(' - ');
    $view->headTitle('Zend Custom View');
    $view->setScriptPath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/themes/admin');

    return $view;
}
}

The default view is contains default script path for module. I want one path for all module, to enable template system. The setScriptPath method should overwrite the default path generated by the view object, but it doesn't.

array(2) { [0]=> string(66) "C:/xampp/htdocs/NEOBBS_v6/application/modules/admin/views\scripts/" [1]=> string(51) "C:\xampp\htdocs\NEOBBS_v6\application/themes/admin/" }

it has two scriptPath. Can this be done by overwriting the default view object ? How can i do that, thanks for advanced

Answer 1

What ArneRie posted is correct, however the ViewRenderer checks to see whether the standard script path is set and adds it if not. Since the paths are checked LIFO, what's happening is that the ViewRenderer is adding the standard path after your one and then always using that one.

What worked for me was to set both the standard path and my custom path at the same time, with the custom one being last, something like:

$view->setScriptPath(array(
    APPLICATION_PATH . '/views/scripts/', // or whatever the standard path is
    APPLICATION_PATH . '/themes/admin'
));

there may be a better solution for this though.

Try to add:

        $viewRenderer = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
        $viewRenderer->setView($view);
        Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer);
