Zend_View helpers not availble when manually calling $view->render(): how to fix it?

Answer 1

Can we see a bit more code?

So far I've got this to work with manually rendered views.

$view->setHelperPath('/path/to/helper/class');
print $view->render('view.phtml');

This here is the class named FooBar.php within /path/to/helper/class

<?php
class Zend_View_Helper_FooBar extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract {
    public function fooBar()
    {
        return 'random string this will be the output';
    }
}

Within view.pthml

print $this->fooBar();

Outputs

random string this will be the output
