Question

Currently have a custom Form Element View:

class Apply_View_Helper_JQueryUiFormRadio extends Zend_View_Helper_FormElement

My form is as follows

$form->addElement('radio', 'name', array(
 'label' => 'etc...",

How would I instantiate this replacing the ‘radio’ string in the addElement method?

Answer 1

Each class which extends Zend_Form_Element has public proterty “helper” so you can do it in that way:

$element = new Zend_Form_Element_Radio('item');
$element->helper = 'jQueryUiFormRadio';
$this->addElement($element);

In your case Apply_View_Helper_ must be added to zend_view helper script path.
