Hi Pádraic, Thanks for your reply.
I've tried what you suggested but it did not fix, at first, the problem I was having but after a few other changes (mainly the calls to $this->render() ) it<s working again ! :D Also from what I understand of this new viewRenderer helper, it basicaly does (among many other things) what the Simon_Controller_Action::initView() method was doing so I don<t need it anymore ! Thank you very much for your help Martin On 6/6/07, Pádraic Brady <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hi Martin, I have a write up on possible migration issues over at: http://blog.astrumfutura.com/archives/290-Having-a-bad-ViewRenderer-day-in-your-ZF-app.html It looks like you are instantiating a private View without relying on any other instantiation logic later on. It's likely the main change is to manually set your View on the ViewRenderer using something like: $viewRenderer = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer; $viewRenderer->setView(self:$view); // your cloned View object $viewRenderer->setViewScriptPathSpec(':controller_:action.:suffix'); // need to adjust for your personal template naming convention Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewRenderer); You'll need to adjust more than likely so that you clone the View for the ViewRenderer and only then pass the clone as a Front controller param. Note, the above assumes placement before the Front Controller is instantiated (otherwise you need to get the Existing ViewRenderer object from the HelperBroker). From what I've read. Calling the Zend_Controller_Action::render() method as you do below indirectly should prevent the ViewRenderer from automatically rendering since render() now calls it directly. Not completely certain of that so maybe someone else can chime in ;).

I've read the doc about the new helpers and the migration but I can't figure out what I need to change in my code. My code his heavily based on the ZF tutorial found on the dev wiki. Here's what I have in bootsrap.php ... require 'Zend/Controller/Front.php'; $frontController = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance(); // manages the overall workflow $frontController->addModuleDirectory($appDir . 'modules'); // Initialize views //require 'Zend/View.php'; self::$view = new Zend_View($config->view->toArray()); self::$view->strictVars(); // enables tracking/detection of typos and misspelled variables in views // do not show sensitive logs to requests from non-local networks if (self::isLocalRequest()) { self::$view->showLog = $config->view->showLog; } self::$view->sectionName = basename($installDir); // e.g. "application" self::$view->viewSuffix = 'phtml'; // file name suffix for view script // default location shared by all modules self::$view->setScriptPath($appDir . 'modules' . $ds . 'default' . $ds . 'views' . $ds .

'/helpers') ->addFilterPath($baseDir . '/filters'); // We could support $newViewOptions here, but code would not be DRY with respect // to Zend_View_Abstract::__construct(), and the view was already created elsewhere, // so there was already an opportunity to supply options. } return $this->view; } /** * Convenience method: render a view in <module directory>/views/scripts/<controller name><action name>.<viewSuffix> * * @param string $segmentName OPTIONAL render view to named segment */ public function renderToSegment($segmentName = null, $script = null) { $this->render($script ? $script : $this->getRequest()->getControllerName() . ucfirst($this->getRequest()->getActionName()), $segmentName, true); } } and then finaly in application/modules/ged/DocumentsController.php <?php class Ged_DocumentsController extends Simon_Controller_Action { // document id requested (if any) protected $documentId = false; // documents model (list of documents) protected $documents; /** * The default action is "indexAction", unless explicitly set to something else. * Show a list of all documents. */ public function indexAction() { $this->displayStage3_4(); $this->displayStage5(); } /** * STAGE 3: Choose, create, and optionally update models using business logic. * STAGE 4: Apply business logic to create a presentation model for the view. */ protected function displayStage3_4() { // SimonModel_Document provides static methods that auto-instantiate and manage the model $this->view->documents = SimonModel_Ged_Document::getPresentationModel(); $this->view->user = 'anonymous'; // Controller = 'index', Action = 'index', param name = 'document' $this->view->documentUrl = 'index/index/document'; } /** * STAGE 5: Choose view and submit presentation model to view. */ protected function displayStage5() { // Hard way: //$this->_response->appendBody($this->view->render(' indexDocuments.phtml')); $this->renderToSegment('body'); // initiate STAGE 6 in the view template } /** * redirect bogus URLs back to the application's "home" page */ public function __call($name, $parameters) { $this->_redirect('/'); } } The problem I get is that once in the view script, the view object has been reset by the viewRenderer helper and I'm unable to display any data I assign to the view.
