How is it possible to set up a shared view script path for partials to create global partials within the Zend Framework?
We know that you can call partials between modules
e.g - echo $this->partial('partial_title','module_name');
but we need to set up a partial folder in the root ( i.e below modules) so that it can be accessble by all views.
It has been suggested to set up a shared view script path, how is this done?
Zend_View has a method called addScriptPath, so in a Zend_Controller_Action subclass you could do something like:
$this->view->addScriptPath("/path/to/your/view/scripts/");
Now when you call render or partial or partialLoop, that path will be included in the paths.
I have got a solution. We can do this by specifying the location of the view:
Calling partial as above form Module/Controller page
Method 1:
$this->view->addScriptPath("/ModuleConatinerDirectory/ModuleName/view/scripts/");
Then load using:
$message = $this->view->partial('templates/default.phtml','contact',array('var'=> 'var');
For the second option, please read the following:

Now my doubt is, whether it is possible on setting it directly on Bootstrap file for all my Modules ? If so, how can I set this for two modules Module1 and Module2
$viewRenderer = Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::getStaticHelper( 'viewRenderer' ); $viewRenderer->setViewBasePathSpec( '/some/absolute/path/to/templates/:module/' );
