Re: [fw-general] ActionStack and _forward()
You could store something in Zend_Registry, or Zend_Cache (and then wrap the
init logic in an if statement)?

Hi all,
Ive been following the method outlined here to add Controller specific
navigation menus to my layout view:
http://teethgrinder.co.uk/perm.php?a=Zend-Framework-Menus-Navigation
Firstly, what is your view on this approach? Adding an actionStack call
to every controller seems long winded especially if the majority use a
standard menu i.e. defaultmenuAction in the NavController.
Also using this method I am encountering a problem with the use of
_forward() in my actions.
When calling a _forward from one action to another within the same
controller the menu action is added to the actionStack twice (once for
initial init() and then for each forward). How would you propose I stop
this easily? Is there a way of detecting if the actionStack currently
has
the call to the action in the NavController and thus doesnt add it
again?
Back to my original question... is there a better way entirely?
Thanks for your help.

Why don't you use a view helper for this task? You can define and pass
controller specific actions in the init() method of the controller and
display them in a view.

Thanks for your reply. Im not sure I follow your suggestion? What are you
proposing with the use of a view helper?
Im trying to follow the example from the Zend_Layout documentation that
states:
As an example, let's say your code first hits
FooController::indexAction(),
which renders some content to the default response segment, and then
forwards to NavController::menuAction(), which renders content to the 'nav'
response segment. Finally, you forward to CommentController::fetchAction()
and fetch some comments, but render those to the default response segment
as
well (which appends content to that segment). Your view script could then
render each separately:
body
!-- renders /nav/menu --
div id=nav?= $this-layout()-nav ?/div
!-- renders /foo/index + /comment/fetch --
div id=content?= $this-layout()-content ?/div
/body
This feature is particularly useful when used in conjunction with the
ActionStack action helper and plugin, which you can use to setup a stack of
actions through which to loop, and thus create widgetized pages.
I have this working based on an example here:
http://teethgrinder.co.uk/perm.php?a=Zend-Framework-Menus-Navigation
The problem is that when using a _forward() to another action within the
same controller the init() gets called every forward thus resulting in the
$this-_helper-actionStack('menu', 'navigation') getting called every
time.
This means the navigation menuAction gets rendered a number of times when
obviously it only wants to render once...
So ultimately how can I detect if the current controller init() has been
called as the result of a _forward() and thus then not add the menuAction
to the stack...?
Also if there is a better simplified way of doing this i'd be enlightened
to
know!
Thanks,
David
