Question

I have created a new decorator and have added it to my form using addElementPrefixPath. I intend to use this decorator in other forms but do not want to add it every time. How do I add this decorator via the bootstrap?

Answer 1

I would personally extend Zend_Form and use that form instead. As below:

class My_Form extends Zend_Form {
    protected $decorator = ..........;
}

That file would go in ./library/My/Form.php. And then in all of my forms they would be:

class App_Form_Example extends My_Form {
    ....
}

If you haven’t used auto loader namespaces before you will need to add this to your application.ini (assuming you start your extended form with “My_”

autoloaderNamespaces[] = "My_"

I hope that helps. Let me know if I misunderstood your question or I didn’t make myself clear 🙂
