Am creating an action helper that will require the return value of the
Zend_View_Helper_BaseUrl
How do I go about that?
$this->view->baseUrl()
should work.
But I suggest creating new action helper, which is basically a copy of view helper, but you may modify to suit your needs:
/**
* Generate URL of the current domain
*
*/
class My_Controller_Action_Helper_BaseUrl
extends Zend_Controller_Action_Helper_Abstract
{
public function direct($file = null, $full = true)
{
return $this->baseUrl($file, $full);
}
/**
* BaseUrl
*
* @var string
*/
protected $_baseUrl;
/**
* Returns site's base url, or file with base url prepended
*
* $file is appended to the base url for simplicity
*
* @param string|null $file
* @return string
*/
public function baseUrl($file = null)
{
// Get baseUrl
$baseUrl = $this->getBaseUrl();
// Remove trailing slashes
if (null !== $file) {
$file = '/' . ltrim($file, '/\\');
}
return $baseUrl . $file;
}
/**
* Set BaseUrl
*
* @param string $base
* @return My_Controller_Action_Helper_BaseUrl
*/
public function setBaseUrl($base)
{
$this->_baseUrl = rtrim($base, '/\\');
return $this;
}
/**
* Get BaseUrl
* @return string
*/
public function getBaseUrl()
{
if ($this->_baseUrl === null) {
/** @see Zend_Controller_Front */
require_once 'Zend/Controller/Front.php';
$baseUrl = Zend_Controller_Front::getInstance()->getBaseUrl();
// Remove scriptname, eg. index.php from baseUrl
$baseUrl = $this->_removeScriptName($baseUrl);
$this->setBaseUrl($baseUrl);
}
return $this->_baseUrl;
}
/**
* Remove Script filename from baseurl
*
* @param string $url
* @return string
*/
protected function _removeScriptName($url)
{
if (!isset($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
// We can't do much now can we? (Well, we could parse out by ".")
return $url;
}
if (($pos = strripos($url, basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']))) !== false) {
$url = substr($url, 0, $pos);
}
return $url;
}
}
