I currently have 4 controllers, each with the same set (4) of actions. The view scripts for each action is basically the same across different controllers, and I'd like to avoid having 16 scripts in 4 different folders. The view script structure is (the standard setup):

views/scripts/controller1/actions 1 - 4
views/scripts/controller2/actions 1 - 4
views/scripts/controller3/actions 1 - 4
views/scripts/controller4/actions 1 - 4

What I would like to have is:

views/scripts/actions 1 - 4

I know I can just add $this->render('action', null, true); to each action, but that seems a little unnecessarily repetitive.

How else can I do this? I feel like I've missed something in the documentation, but I just can't see where the controller name is added to the script path, or how to avoid that happening.

Thank in advance for any help

Place the code below in your bootstrap and it should work the way you want it to.
This would affect all of your controllers tho. Maybe that is not what you are after.

$viewRenderer = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer();
$viewRenderer->setViewScriptPathSpec(':action.:suffix');
Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($vi ewRenderer);

Thanks for that, it does sound like just what I want.

Thank you

I'm not sure how I missed this in the doc:
Zend Framework: Documentation

The manual is hard to navigate sometimes

Glad I could be of some assistance.

Thank you!

AddViewPath would probably be a better addition rather then set.
