Hi everyone, I'm currently in the process of upgrading our application to ZF 0.9.1 from 0.8 . So far it's going smoothly and I took the oportunity to convert to a Conventional Modular for convenience and because since the application is an intranet, it will eventually includes a lot of different modules.
So I based the directory structure on what's described here Conventional Modular Layout<http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFDEV/Choosing+Your+Application%2527s+Directory+Layout#ChoosingYourApplication%2527sDirectoryLayout-ConventionalModular>to have something that looks like this: /application /config config.ini /default /controllers IndexController.php /models /views /scripts /index index.phtml _menu.phtml /(module x) /controllers IndexController.php /models /views /library /Zend /www /images /scripts /styles index.php In the bootstrap I correctly set the controller directories with: $controller = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); $controller->throwExceptions(true) ->setControllerDirectory(array( 'default' => '../application/default/controllers', '(module x)' => '../application/(module x)/controllers')) ->setParam('config', $config); With that setup I can simply use this in the default controller: function init() { $this->initView(); $this->view->config = $this->getInvokeArg('config'); $this->view->baseUrl = $this->_request->getBaseUrl(); } function indexAction() { $this->view->title = 'title'; $this->view->actionTemplate = '_menu.phtml'; $this->render(); } Which will render the view script in /application/default/views/scripts/index.phtml in wich the file _menu.phtml is called with <?php echo $this->render($this->actionTemplate); ?> . What I'm wondering is where would be a good place to put the site wide view scripts such as _menu.phtml (also think header/footer scripts) and what would be the best way to use them inside the modules controller ?
