I actually tried actionstack.
<?php
class Customers_IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
function init()
{
$this->initView();
Zend_Loader::loadClass('Customers');
$this->view->baseUrl = $this->_request->getBaseUrl();
$this->view->user = Zend_Auth::getInstance()->getIdentity();
}
function preDispatch()
{
$auth = Zend_Auth::getInstance();
if (!$auth->hasIdentity()) {
$this->_redirect('auth/login');
}
}
function indexAction()
{
$this->_helper->actionStack('menu','navigation','default');
$this->view->title = "Customers";
$customers = new Customers();
$this->view->customers = $customers->fetchAll();
}
And this seems to work. I am not sure if its the best way to go about it
but it works.
I am curious about the plugin model u suggested Tobias.
