I just ask, is it bad idea to extend Zend_View and register like Front Controller plugin after router is ready, because i need, $request to get active module name to show Zend_View where are my templates ? public function routeShutdown(Zend_Controller_Request_Abstract $request){ $view = new View($config, $request); $viewHelper = new Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_ViewRenderer($view); Zend_Controller_Action_HelperBroker::addHelper($viewHelper); } And after that i get $request-getModuleName(); and make the my ScriptPaths I have tried this method $viewHelper->setViewScriptPathSpec(':controller/:action.:suffix') But can't work.
