How to properly render a helper

Question

Hello,

I have a sidebar as a helper.

It outputs the helper as a partial.

However, I don't want to add a load to my server so I'd like that partial to use the helper paths. Is that possible? Heres my helper.

class Zend_View_Helper_Sidebar extends Zend_View_Helper_Partial {


    public function sidebar() {

        $module         = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getModuleName();
        $controller     = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getControllerName();
        $action         = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getActionName();

        $module         = str_replace('-', '_', $module); 
        $controller     = str_replace('-', '_', $controller); 
        $action         = str_replace('-', '_', $action);

        if ($module == 'administration') {
            $user_session   = new Zend_Session_Namespace('User');
            $user           = $user_session->model;

            return $this->partial('helper/sidebar/administration.phtml', array());
