Zend Framework - plugin by name not found in the registry

Question

When I call the function in my views / helpers / file from my script inside the views / scripts / , I get this error:

Message: a plugin named 'SetBlnCompany' was not found in the registry; paths used: My_View_Helper_: / WWW / zendserver / HTDOCS / development / application / views / helpers / Zend_View_Helper_: Zend / View / Helper /: / WWW / zendserver / HTDOCS / development / application / views / helpers /

bootstrap.php

protected function _initConfig() { Zend_Registry::set('config', new Zend_Config($this->getOptions())); date_default_timezone_set('America/Chicago'); } protected function _initAutoload() { $autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array( 'namespace' => 'My', 'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__), )); return $autoloader; } 

application.ini

 resources.view.helperPath.My_View_Helper = APPLICATION_PATH "/views/helpers" 

apps / views / helpers / DropdownHelper.php

 class Zend_View_Helper_Dropdownhelper extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { public $blnCompany = false; public function getBlnCompany() { return $this->blnCompany; } public function setBlnCompany($blnCompany) { $this->blnCompany = $blnCompany; } } 

script causes an error

 <?php $this->setBlnCompany(true); //...etc... ?>

EDIT to add more information to my post.

Ideally, I would use this dropdown helper class to have a get html function for the get javascript function, and many setter functions to set parameters before calling getHtml and getJavascript.

Your helper should have the same name as your method. Change Zend_View_Helper_Dropdownhelper to Zend_View_Helper_GetBlnCompany and it will work. Remember to also change your file name: GetBlnCompany.php

To use the proxy method, you just need to return $this; :

 // /application/views/helpers/helpers/GetBlnCompany.php class Zend_View_Helper_GetBlnCompany extends Zend_View_Helper_Abstract { public function getBlnCompany() { return $this; } public function fooBar($blnCompany) { return ucfirst($blnCompany); } } 

Then you need to call the view helper as shown below:

 $this->getBlnCompany()->fooBar('google'); //return "Google"
