Something that was temporarily puzzling me so I thought I would post about it. As in most examples to access the direct() method of a View Helper, you simply call the class name on the View Object:
$view->baseUrl();
But if you want to access any of the methods other than direct() you’ve got to get the Helper first, as unlike most Action Helpers they don’t implement a fluent interface because they return bits of the view instead (usually HTML)
$this->getHelper('BaseUrl')->setBaseUrl();
Thanks very much. This information was very helpful and was not available as commonly as one would have thought. Appreciate your gesture in making it available to all. Rgds, Vijay
