1. Are you sure? I'm almost positive that the config variable "resourcePaths" will not be processed. It should be 'pluginpaths'. Chances are you example is just firing Zend_Application_Resource_View and not your custom resource.
2. Even if the example you listed works, you are still missing the major point of my post, which relates to being able to use resources from different namespaces even in the case where there is overlap. This is due to issues with the plugin loader. Tom Shaw-4 wrote: > > Actually that example does work I tried it less than an hour ago and got > the > below code to work.
