MVC and custom helpers

sebastian · #1 (**permalink**) 04-13-2008, 01:37 PM

Hi @ all,

I'm pretty new to Zend Framework and played around a bit with it the last days. Zend Studio 6.0.1 therefor generated a simple base application. I added the following lines to index.php:

Code:

Zend_Loader::registerAutoload();
Zend_Layout::startMvc(array('layoutPath' => ROOT_PATH . '/views/scripts/layouts'));

Everything with a layout work fine. Now I want to write some custom helpers. I placed it in the view/helpers path. I could not work out, how I have name the helper files and classes to get it work. Who can give me a hint

? Lets say for example for a helper called linkTo.

Thanks in advance

Sebastian

views/helpers/LinkTo.php:

PHP Code:


			
class Zend_View_Helper_LinkTo {

    public function linkTo() {

       // your code here

    }

}

in the view:

PHP Code:


			
echo $this->linkTo();

Ok, this must be a combination of names I didn't try before. Now it works. Thanks a lot for your help.
