Re: [fw-general] Zend Layout and _forward
Tobias,
Thank you again. I tried the _forward but I only get the 'nav' on the view
and not the 'content'. Same problem as before. :(
My index controller has this:
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-view-title = Customers;
$customers = new Customers();
$this-view-customers = $customers-fetchAll();
$this-_forward('menu','navigation','default');
}
// Other actions
}
Am i forwarding correctly?

If i understud well, you should use $this-_forward at the end of you
action.
So lets say you have IndexController.php and in this controller you want
to use forward
?php
class IndexController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
public function indexAction()
{
//there is some stuff you want to do
//and now you are calling your NavController
$this-_forward('menu','nav'); // where 'menu' stand for menuAction in
NavController and 'nav' is a NavController.php
}
}
Also you will like to setup in scripts/view/nav/menu.phtml and put in this
file whatever you want
then in you layout.phtml just call ?=$this-layout()-nav ?
i hope this will work or help :)

Thanks for your reply Tobias.
In my example where I send only the title to the nav variable, i do so
for illustrative purposes. Eventually i want to send a complete
navigation menu.
However, I am looking for direction with the code based on the example in
the ZF documentation. I am unsure how to create the menu based on the
layout view script, actionstack, or maybe the use of _forward, as it
implies in the doucmentation.

Well, as I can see you use already ?= $this-layout()-content; ?, so
all other $this-view variables will be within that. In your view script
view/scripts/action.phtml you can just use
?= $this-title ?
But this only works when you not forward all the time. Just stay in you
indexAction() function and you can easily use your variables in
view/scripts/index.phtml

Re: [fw-general] Zend Layout and _forward
Hi Pete,
I actually did a start for a dynamic navigation. I never really finished
(and believe me, it's been a while) because I didn't really need it anymore
. But may be it gives you a hint.
Well, the navigation has to be on every page, why not use a plugin for
handeling?!?
class Navigation extends Zend_Controller_Plugin_Abstract
{
public function postDispatch (Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request)
{
$this-view = Zend_Registry::get('Zend_View');
$menuArray= $this-getAnArrayOfLinks();
$this-getResponse()-insert('top_navigation',
$this-view-htmlList($menuArray));
}
public function getAnArrayOfLink()
{
// Use database or whatever you like
}
}
And in the view script just use ?= $this-layout()-navigation; ?
Just try your luck, don't know whether it really works that way. It's been
too long ;-)
Greetings,
Tobias

[fw-general] Zend Layout and _forward
Hi there again,
I am creating the HTML in my application using Zend Layout using a similar
method shown in the Zend documentation. Here is an extract from the
documentation:
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:
from this page:
http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.layout.quickstart.html
I have this view script layout.phtml:
?php echo $this-partial('header.phtml'); ?
?php echo $this-escape($this-title); ?
?php echo $this-layout()-content; ?
?php echo $this-layout()-nav; ?
?php echo $this-partial('footer.phtml'); ?
In my CustomerController I have the following actions:
function indexAction()
{
$this-view-title = Customers;
$customers = new Customers();
$this-view-customers = $customers-fetchAll();
$this-render(null, 'content');
}
This supposedly sends everything to the variable 'content' in my layout
script (above).
I then have this postDispatch in the CustomerController that forwards to the
action to create the navigation menu:
function postDispatch()
{
$this-_forward('menu','navigation');
}
I have created a NavigationController with a menuAction:
?php
class NavigationController extends Zend_Controller_Action
{
function init()
{
$this-initView();
$this-view-baseUrl = $this-_request-getBaseUrl();
}
function preDispatch()
{
$this-_helper-viewRenderer-setResponseSegment('nav');
}
function menuAction()
{
$this-view-menuTitle = 'Menu title goes here';
}
}
The problem that I am having is that the navigation menu is the only part
that appears on my screen. The body 'content' which is suppose to show
customer information does not show.
Am I missusing _forward()? I also looked into the actionstack method but I
have no idea how to implement this within the action controllers. I looked
for examples too and I still don't get it.
Can anyone provide some direction?
++Tx
