The way I do something similar is to run code in dispatchLoopStartup like $viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper('viewRenderer'); $viewRenderer->init();
$view = $viewRenderer->view; $this->_view = $view; // set up common variables for the view $view->originalModule = $request->getModuleName(); $view->originalController = $request->getControllerName(); $view->originalAction = $request->getActionName(); I also set up my actionstack in dispatchLoopStartup. In my menuAction, I can then compare my menu items with $view->originalAction, etc. and colour them appropriately. Don't know if this is a good solution or not, but it is working for me. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Menu-in-ZF%3A-Controller-Plugin-with-postDispatch-method-tp23306086p23315051.html Sent from the Zend Framework mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
