Zend controller Url in view

Question

I have a url

/module/controller/action/id/10

And what want to achieve is to generate the following url for an A tag inside a view partial

/module/controller

so basically I want to remove action name and extra id parameter

How can I do it using $this->url() inside the partial without having to pass any variables from a controller?

Thanks

EDIT:

Ok so I managed to write a piece of code that do it:

<?php
$module = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getModuleName();
$ctrl   = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getControllerName();
echo $this->url(array('controller' => $ctrl, 'module' => $module), null, true);
?>

but this is pretty ugly solution. Anyone any ideas? Thanks

Answer 1

You can set the module and controller name in the Zend_Registry, either from the Bootstrap or from any Plugins and can use it in the partial views.

<?=$this->url(array('controller' => Zend_Registry::get('controller'), 'module' => Zend_Registry::get('module')), null, true);?>

Answer 2

There some solutions:

1) Get module name & controller name from Controller and transmit to view ( u don`t like).

2) Do as you did ( ugly solution ).

3) Write custom View Helper. Below example for you solution.

// view helper
class Custom_View_Helper_UrlCustom extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract
{
  public function urlCustom()
  {
     $module = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getModuleName();
     $ctrl   = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getRequest()->getControllerName();
     return '/'.$module.'/'.$ctrl;
  }
}

Set path(s) to helper: There 3 links how it in different ways to do ( I dont know how you want )

Accessing and using Zend View Helpers from a common directory
