Question

I have a custom decorator as follow:

$lang = $this->CreateElement('select', 'lang')
            ->setDecorators(array(
                    array(
                        array('elementDiv' => 'HtmlTag'), 
                        array('tag' => 'div', 'class'=>'lang')
                    )
                )
            )

How can I reuse this decorator aliased as ‘elementDiv’ in my next element?

Answer 1

$elementDiv = array('elementDiv' => 'HtmlTag');

$this->addElement('select', 'lang')
     ->setDecorators(array(
         $elementDiv,
         array('tag' => 'div', 'class'=>'lang')
     ));

$this->addElement('select', 'lang2')
     ->setDecorators(array(
         $elementDiv,
         array('tag' => 'div', 'class'=>'lang2')
     ));

Alternatively, you might want to create a custom decorator.
